Intelligent Exposure *2,3; Backlight Compensation; Soft Skin Mode *2; Tele Macro - Panasonic HDC-TM99 Operating Instructions Manual

Intelligent exposure
This brightens dark parts so the image can be recorded clearly.
≥ If there are extremely dark parts or the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be
clear.

Backlight compensation

This makes the image brighter to prevent darkening of a backlit subject.
Soft skin mode
This makes skin colours appear softer for a more attractive appearance.
This is more effective if you record a person closely from the torso up.
≥ If the background or anything else in the scene has colours similar to the skin colour, they
will also be smoothed.
≥ If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.
≥ If you record a person in the distance, the face may not be recorded clearly. In this case,
cancel soft skin mode or zoom in on the face (close-up) to record.

Tele macro

A more impressive image can be obtained by focusing on the object only in close-up
and shading off the background.
≥ The unit can focus on the subject at a distance of approx. 60 cm.
≥ When the Tele macro is set with the zoom magnification less than 26k in motion picture
recording mode, it will automatically be set to 26k.
≥ When the aspect ratio is [4:3] during the still picture recording mode and tele macro is set
with the zoom magnification less than 21k, the zoom magnification will automatically be
set to 21k. When the aspect ratio is either [3:2] or [16:9], the zoom magnification will be
23k or 26k respectively.
≥ The tele macro function is cancelled when the zoom magnification becomes lower than
26k in motion picture recording mode.

lower than the size below in still picture recording Mode:
j Less than 21k (when the aspect ratio is [4:3])
