Notes about Skin Softening
When using the S (night portrait) or Portrait scene modes, the camera detects up to three human
faces when the shutter is released, and processes the image to soften facial skin tones before saving
the image.
• More time than usual is required to save images.
• The level of effect applied cannot be adjusted. Confirm the result by playing back the image.
• Skin softening can also be applied on saved images ( A 134).
• In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may not be smoothed or parts other than face may
be modified though the camera detects a face.
