Operating Instructions

3. Recording Modes

• Be careful not to look at the light from the flash and the AF Assist Lamp directly.

• When the [Soft Skin] is set

– If you select [ ] (Medium) or [ ] (High), display of the recording screen will be delayed

more than usual and the screen will look as if frames are dropping.

– Recording with [ ] (Medium) or [ ] (High) requires extra image-processing time. This

means it takes some time until you can take the next picture.

– The smoothing effect is applied to the part that has a similar tone to the complexion of a

subject, as well.

– This mode may not be effective under insufficient lighting.

• If you set [Defocusing] to [ ] (On), display of the recording screen will be delayed more than

usual and the screen will look as if frames are dropping. In addition, since recording with

[Defocusing] requires extra image-processing time, it takes some time until you can take the

next picture.
