Shooting Features
Using Skin Softening
When the shutter is released in one of the following shooting modes, the camera detects one
or more human faces (up to three), and processes the image to soften facial skin tones.
• Portrait (A 36) and Night portrait (A 37) in G (easy auto) mode
• Portrait (A 36) or Night portrait (A 37) scene mode
• Smart portrait mode (A 43)
Skin softening can also be applied to saved images (A 68, E8).
B 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, or skin
softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.
