When the

and the recording lamp flashes for the time which has been set. After recording, the self-
timer is cancelled.

button is pressed halfway once and then fully, the lens
focuses on the subject when the button is pressed halfway. If the

Setting the self-timer to
Ø
2 is a good way to prevent image shake when the
button is
pressed while using a tripod etc.
This brightens dark parts so the image can be recorded clearly.
≥
If there are extremely dark parts or the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be
clear.
This makes the image brighter to prevent darkening of a backlit subject.
This makes skin colours appear softer for a more attractive appearance.
This is more effective if you record a person closely from the torso up.
≥
If the background or anything else in the scene has colours similar to the skin colour, they
will also be smoothed.
≥
If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.
≥
If you record a person in the distance, the face may not be recorded clearly. In this case,
cancel soft skin mode or zoom in on the face (close-up) to record.
A more impressive image can be obtained by focusing on the object only in close-up
and shading off the background.
≥
The unit can focus on the subject at a distance of approx. 70 cm.
≥
If the magnification is 12
k
or less, then it is automatically set to 12
k
.
≥
The tele macro function is cancelled when the zoom magnification becomes lower than 12
k
