Sony DSC-HX400, HX400V manual Soft Skin, High Sensitivity

Soft Skin:

Allows you to shoot images of faces with a smoother look.

High Sensitivity:

Allows you to shoot still images even in dark locations without using the flash, and reduces subject blur. Also allows you to shoot dark movie scenes more brightly.

Note

In the [Night Scene], [Night Portrait] and [Fireworks] modes, the shutter speed is slower, so use of a tripod is recommended to prevent the image from blurring.

In the [Hand-held Twilight] or [Anti Motion Blur] mode, the shutter clicks 4 times and an image is recorded.

Reducing blur is less effective even in [Hand-held Twilight] or [Anti Motion Blur] when shooting the following subjects:

Subjects with erratic movement.

Subjects that are too close to the product.

Subjects with continuously similar patterns, such as the sky, a beach, or a lawn.

Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls.

In the case of [Hand-held Twilight] or [Anti Motion Blur], block noise may occur when using a light source that flickers, such as fluorescent lighting.

Hint

To change the scene, rotate the control dial on the shooting screen and select a new scene.
