Shooting Features Using Skin Softening When the shutter is released while using one of the shooting modes listed below, the camera detects up to three human faces and processes the image to soften facial skin tones. • Scene auto selector (A41), Portrait (A41), or Night portrait (A42) scene mode is selected. • Smart portrait mode (A53) Editing functions such as Skin softening can be applied to saved images by using Glamour retouch (A84). 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. • The skin softening level cannot be adjusted when shooting in Portrait or Night portrait scene mode, or when the camera selects one of these scenes while in scene auto selector scene mode. 55
