[PORTRAIT]

The person stands out from the background and has a healthier complexion.

[NORMAL PORTRAIT]

Shades the background and photographs skin color beautifully.

[SOFT SKIN]

Makes the skin surface appear especially smooth.

•When [SOFT SKIN] is selected, if a part of the background is a color similar to the color of the person’s skin, it also may show some smoothing.

•When [SOFT SKIN] is selected, this mode may not be effective when there is insufficient brightness.

[OUTDOOR PORTRAIT]

Prevents faces from appearing dark when taking pictures outside.

[INDOOR PORTRAIT]

Sets the ISO sensitivity setting to the appropriate setting to prevent blurring of photo subject for indoor photography.

[CREATIVE PORTRAIT]

You can change the amount of background blurring by changing the aperture value (P80). (Set value will not be applied for motion picture recording.)

1 Rotate the zoom lever as far as possible to Tele.

2 Move close to the subject to make this mode more effective.
