Using Skin Softening
In the following shooting modes, the camera detects up to 3 human faces when
the shutter is released, and processes the image to make facial skin tones softer
before saving the image.
• x (Scene auto selector) (A34), S (Night portrait) (A36) or Portrait (A38)
in scene mode
• Smart portrait mode (A45)
Skin softening in Glamour retouch (A74) can also be applied to saved images,
even after shooting.
B Notes on Skin Softening
• It may take more time to save images.
• Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be achieved, and skin
softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.
• The skin softening level cannot be adjusted when shooting in x (Scene auto selector), or S
(Night portrait) or Portrait scene mode.
