Technique for Soft skin mode
To make this mode more effective:
1
Rotate the zoom lever to Tele as far as
possible.

To maximise the effect, select a
background as far as possible from the
camera, and get closer to the subject.
• This mode is only suitable for outdoors in
the daytime.
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80].
• If there is a colour close to the skin colour
in the background, that part is also
smoothened.

insufficient brightness.
Use this mode when you want to take
photos with a candle light atmosphere.

Technique for Candle light mode
• By making the most of the candle light,
you can take successful pictures without
using the flash.
• We recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P40) for taking pictures.
• The flash setting can be set to Slow sync./
Red-eye reduction [
] or Forced ON/
Red-eye reduction [
].
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO].
