Soft-Skin Mode
This enables you to record skin colors in a softer tone.

operate the [OFF/ON] Switch or the Mode Dial.
• In a dark place, the recorded picture is presented in
a time-lapse-like manner.

• The Scene Mode cannot be set.
• When recording with the MagicPix Function, it is
recommended that you use a tripod.
• The MagicPix Function makes the signal charging
time of CCD longer up to approx. 30× longer than
usual, so that dark scenes that are invisible to
the naked eyes can be recorded brightly. For this
reason, bright dots may be seen, but this is not a
malfunction.
• The Image Stabilizer Function does not work. In
this case, the [
] Indication flashes.
• The Backlight Compensation Function cannot be
changed.

has colors similar to the skin color, they will also be
smoothed.

be clear.
