BENEFITS OF SONY ADSP
(f) Electronic Soft Focus
This function is similar to an optical soft filter. By subtracting the
edge enhancement signal from the original video signal, slight
'defocussed' pictures are created electronically. This is an important
new creative feature that can be used to either complement or
replace the Skin Tone Detail Correction function, when more of a
'film look' is sought for close-ups, etc.
