Shooting Suited to Scenes (Scene Mode)

yMbPortrait

Use this mode for portraits.

The camera detects and focuses on a human face. See “Face Detection” (A56) for more information.

If more than one face is detected, focus will be on the face closest to the camera.

The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening function before saving images.

If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.

Digital zoom is not available.

CNotes about Skin Softening

When using the S(night portrait) or Portrait scene modes, the camera detects up to three human faces when the shutter is released, and processes the image to soften facial skin tones before saving the image.

More time than usual is required to save images.

The level of effect applied cannot be adjusted. Confirm the result by playing back the image.

Skin softening can also be applied on saved images (A134).

In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may not be smoothed or parts other than face may

be modified though the camera detects a face.
