Using Skin Softening and Foundation Makeup
In the following shooting modes, if human faces are detected, the camera processes
the image to soften facial skin tones before saving the image (up to three faces).
• If Skin softening or Foundation makeup is set in smart portrait mode, the
camera processes the image to soften facial skin tones or adjust facial colors before
saving the image (up to three faces) when human faces are detected.
• The effects of Skin softening are applied even when shooting in B (scene auto
selector) mode, e (night portrait) scene mode, or Portrait scene mode. The
amount of effect cannot be adjusted.
• You can also apply the effects of Skin softening or Foundation makeup in
Glamour retouch in the playback menu after shooting (A71).
B Notes About Skin Softening and Foundation Makeup
• It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting.
• Under some shooting conditions, the desired results may not be achieved, or the effects
may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.
