Notes on Skin Softening
• In images taken in the portrait or night portrait scene mode, the camera makes the subject‘s skin
appear smoother (up to three people), and then records the image (skin softening function). This
means that the image recording time is longer than usual.
• Depending on shooting conditions, even if the camera detects a face on the monitor at the time
of shooting, effects of the skin softening function may not be visible, and areas other than the face
may be processed.
• The extent of skin softening effect that is applied cannot be set.
• Skin softening can also be applied to pictures after they have been taken (
A112).
y M b Portrait
Use this mode for portraits.
• The camera automatically detects and focuses on a face (see
“Shooting with Face Priority” ( A85) for more information).
• If the camera detects multiple faces, the camera focuses on
the face closest to the camera.
• After the Skin softening feature makes the subject’s skin appear smoother (up to three
people), the camera records the image ( A46).
• If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
• The digital zoom is not available.
