Shooting Features Using Skin Softening In the following mode, the camera detects up to three human faces when the shutter is released, and processes the image to make facial skin tones softer before saving the image. • G (easy auto) mode (A38) • Portrait (A40) or Night portrait (A41) in scene mode • Smart portrait mode (A49) Skin softening in Glamour retouch (A71) can also be applied to saved images, even after shooting. B Notes on Skin Softening • It may take more time to save images. • Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be achieved, and skin softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces. If the desired results are not produced, select another shooting mode or set Skin softening to Off when using smart portrait mode and shoot again. • The skin softening level cannot be adjusted when shooting in G (easy auto) mode, or Portrait or 66 Night portrait scene mode.
