This mode helps you take pictures that
make the skin of your subject appear
smoother. Use this mode when taking
portraits from the chest up.
n Technique for Soft skin mode
To make this mode more effective:
1 Rotate the zoom lever to Tele as far as
possible.
2 Be close to the subject.
3 Select a background which is far from
the camera.
• This mode is suitable for outdoors in the
daytime.
• The ISO sensitivity is automatically
adjusted to the optimal value.
• If there are other flesh-coloured elements
in the shot, they will also be softened.
• The effect may not be as obvious if there
isn’t enough light.
Use this mode to get the most from the
mood created by candlelight.

best results.
