Shooting Features

Using Skin Softening

When the shutter is released in one of the following shooting modes, the camera detects one

or more person’s faces (up to three), and processes the image to soften facial skin tones.

• Portrait or Night portrait in G (easy auto) mode (A 36)

• Portrait (A 38) or Night portrait (A 39) in scene mode

• Smart portrait mode (A 49)

Skin softening can also be applied to saved images (A 76, E13).

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.
