Using Skin Softening When the shutter is released when using one of the following shooting modes, the camera detects one or more human faces (up to three), and processes the image to soften facial skin tones before saving the image. • Scene auto selector (A 40), Portrait (A 40), or Night portrait (A 41) scene mode is selected. • Smart portrait mode (A 49) Skin softening can also be applied to saved images (A 73). Shooting Features B Notes About Skin Softening • It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting. • 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, switch to another shooting mode and then try shooting again. • The skin softening level cannot be adjusted when Portrait or Night portrait is selected in scene mode. 69
