Using Skin Softening

In the following shooting modes, the camera detects up to 3 human faces when the shutter is released, and processes the image to make facial skin tones softer before saving the image.

•Scene auto selector (A39), Portrait (A39) or Night portrait (A40) in scene mode

Skin softening can also be applied to saved images (A84).

•It may take more time to save images.

•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.
