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. Tele macro 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. 60 cm (24q). ≥ When the Tele macro is set with the zoom magnification less than 26k in Motion Picture Recording Mode, it will automatically be set to 26k. ≥ When the aspect ratio is [4:3] during the Still Picture Recording Mode and Tele macro is set with the zoom magnification less than 21k, the zoom magnification will automatically be set to 21k.
