The One-Touch Portrait Menu
The following portrait effects (reducing vividness of skin tones, softening overall
image) can be set in the one-touch portrait menu. Press
d in one-touch portrait
mode to display the one-touch portrait menu.
B
Face-Priority AF
• If no face is recognized when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera focuses on
the center of the frame.
• The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
- When the subject is not looking directly at the camera
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the
subject is facing the camera.
• If the yellow double border blinks when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera
was unable to focus. Release the button and try again.
• In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected ( A 27),
the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this
occur, switch to A (auto) mode, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from
the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use focus lock (
A 27).

Settings for One-Touch Portrait Mode
• The flash mode can be changed. When shooting under low lighting with W selected for flash
mode, processing to reduce noise may be performed automatically, increasing the time required
to save pictures.
• The self-timer and exposure compensation can be applied, however, macro mode and digital
zoom are not available.
A Image mode
Choose a combination of image size and image quality (compression) ( A 83).
Changes made to this setting apply to all shooting modes (except movie mode).
E Portrait effect
Choose from Normal, Brighter (reduces vividness of skin tones), and Softer (soft
effect).
