Features Shooting
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 3 faces).
- The skin softening level can be adjusted.
•Scene auto selector, Portrait, or Night portrait scene mode (A32)
Editing functions such as Skin softening can be applied to saved images by using Glamour retouch (A74) even after shooting.
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, and skin softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.
Subjects Not Suitable for AutofocusThe camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator glows green:
•Subject is very dark
•Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun behind the subject makes that subject appear very dark)
•No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject wearing a white shirt is standing in front of a white wall)
•Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage)
•Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple rows of similarly shaped windows, etc.)
•Subject is moving rapidly
