Scene Mode (Shooting Suited to the Shooting Conditions)

Focus Area

• When the camera detects a face, the face is displayed

inside a yellow border. When the camera acquires focus
on a face displayed inside a double border (focus area),
the double border changes to green. If no faces are
detected, the camera focuses on the subject in the
center of the frame.

• Under some shooting conditions, the pet face may not

be detected and other subjects may be displayed inside
a border.

Using Skin Softening

When the shutter is released while using one of the shooting modes listed below, the
camera detects human faces and processes the image to soften facial skin tones (up
to three faces).

• Smart portrait mode (A40)

- The amount of the Skin softening effect can be adjusted.

• x (scene auto selector) mode (A30)

• Portrait or Night portrait scene mode (A31)
Editing functions such as Skin softening can be applied to saved images by using
Glamour retouch (

A67) even after shooting.

Notes About Skin Softening

• It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting.
• Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be achieved,

and skin softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.
