• When the [Soft Skin] is set
– If you set the effect level to [2] or higher, display of the recording screen will be delayed
more than usual and the screen will look as if frames are dropping.
– Since recording with this effect requires extra image processing, if you take a picture with
the effect level set to [2] or higher, it takes some time until you can take the next picture.
– The smoothing effect is applied to the part that has a similar tone to the complexion of a
subject, as well.
– This mode may not be effective under insufficient lighting.
• If you set [Background Control] to [
] (Defocus), display of the recording screen will be
delayed more than usual and the screen will look as if frames are dropping. In addition, since
recording with [Background Control] requires extra image-processing time, it takes some time
until you can take the next picture.
