The degree of skin softening applied can be selected from High, Normal (default setting), and Low. When Off is selected, the skin softening function is disabled.

•The current setting can be confirmed by the indicator displayed in the monitor with shooting (A 6). No indicator is displayed when Off is selected. The effects of skin softening are not visible when framing pictures for shooting. Check the degree of skin softening performed in playback mode.
