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:

Rotate the zoom ring as far as possible to Tele. (when a lens with a zoom function is used)

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].

This allows you to take pictures of a wide landscape.

Note

• The flash setting is fixed to [Œ].

This setting takes sharp photographs of architecture. The guide lines are displayed. (P58)

Note

• The flash setting is fixed to [Œ].

Set here when you want to take pictures of sports scenes or other fast-moving events.

Note

• [INTELLIGENT ISO] is activated, and maximum ISO sensitivity level becomes [ISO800].

This mode makes it easy to pick out the subject on which to focus and blurs the

background to make the subject stand out.

∫ Setting the AF area

1 Move the AF area using 3/4/2/1.

• You can position the AF area anywhere on the screen (except at the edges).

• Press [‚] to return the AF area to the centre of the screen.

2 Take the picture.

Note

• It will be a normal motion picture recording during the motion picture recording.

• Quick AF is performed automatically.

• Set the [WHITE BALANCE] (P77) using the Quick Menu (P30).

• AF area setting screen is displayed by pressing

3/4/2/1.

• The obtained effects will differ depending on factors such as the distance to the subject and

background, and the type of lens used. For best results, we recommend getting as close as

possible to the subject when taking pictures. (P75)
