Advanced (Recording pictures)
When taking pictures of people outdoors during the daytime, this mode enables the texture
of their skin to appear even softer than with [PORTRAIT]. (It is effective when taking
pictures of people from the chest up.)
∫ Technique for Soft skin mode
To make this mode more effective:
1 Rotate the zoom lever as far as possible to Tele.
2 Move close to the subject to make this mode more effective.
Note
• If a part of the background etc. is a colour close to skin colour, this part is also smoothed.
• This mode may not be effective when there is insufficient brightness.
• The initial setting for [AF MODE] is [š].
Subject can be recorded either slim or stretched, and at the same time, skin can be
recorded smoothly.
1 Press 3/4 to select the setting, and then press [MENU/
SET].
•
It can be set from the quick menu (P19).
2 Take pictures.
Note
• [SOFT SKIN] is activated when recording. It becomes harder to detect the [SOFT SKIN] when
the level of [SLIM HIGH] or [STRETCH HIGH] is selected.
• [QUALITY] is automatically fixed to [›].
• You can take pictures suitable for 4qk6q/10k15 cm printing.
• The initial setting for [AF MODE] is [š].
• It cannot be used without notifying the copyright owner, except when enjoying in private.
• Do not use the material against the public order and morals, or to offend someone.
• Do not use the material against the object’s interest.
Select this to take pictures of yourself.
∫ Technique for Self portrait mode
•
Press the shutter button halfway to focus. The self-timer indicator
lights up when you are brought into focus. Making sure you hold
the camera still, press the shutter button fully to take the picture.
• The subject is not focused when the self-timer indicator is
blinking. Make sure to press the shutter button halfway again to
focus.
• The recorded picture automatically appears on the LCD monitor
for reviewing.
• If the picture is blurry due to the slow shutter speed, we
recommend using the 2 second self-timer.
Note
• The focus range is about 30 cm to 70 cm (Wide) .
• You can take a picture of yourself with audio (P66). If you do this, the self-timer indicator will
light up while recording the audio.
