A more impressive image can be obtained by focusing on the object only in close-up and shading off the background.

The unit can focus on the subject at a distance of approx. 70 cm (28q).

Soft Skin Mode

This makes skin colors appear softer for a more attractive appearance. This is more effective if you record a person closely from the torso up.

If the background or anything else in the scene has colors similar to the skin color, they will also be smoothed.

If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.

If you record a person in the distance, the face may not be recorded clearly. In this case, cancel Soft Skin Mode or zoom in on the face (close-up) to record.
