Panasonic HDC-SD20 Operating Instructions Manual page 59

Intelligent contrast control:
≥ If there are extremely dark or bright parts or the
brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be
clear.
Fade:
≥ The thumbnails of scenes recorded using fade
in become black (or white).
Soft skin mode:
≥ 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:
≥ The tele macro function is cancelled when the
zoom magnification becomes lower than 16k.
Colour night view:
≥ Recorded scene is seen as if frames were
missed.
≥ If set in a bright place, the screen may become
washed out for a while.
≥ Bright dots that are usually invisible may be
seen, but this is not a malfunction.
≥ Using a tripod is recommended.
≥ In darker areas, auto focus may focus a bit
slower. This is normal.
