Smart Portrait Menu

The following options can be applied in the smart portrait menu.
Tap F (A 14) in smart portrait mode (A 72) to display the smart portrait menu
and tap menu items to adjust settings.
Image mode
Adjust Image mode (A 48).
Changes made to the image mode setting apply to all shooting modes (except
movie recording).
Skin softening
Enable skin softening. When the shutter is released, the camera detects one or more
human faces (up to three), and processes the image to soften facial skin tones
before saving the picture.
The degree of skin softening applied can be selected from High, Normal (default
setting), and Low. When Off is selected, the skin softening function is disabled.
• The current setting can be confirmed by the indicator displayed in the monitor
with shooting (A 11). No indicator is displayed when Off is selected. The effects
of skin softening are not visible when framing pictures for shooting. Check the
degree of skin softening performed in playback mode.
Smile timer
• On (default setting): The camera uses face priority to recognize a human face, and
then automatically releases the shutter whenever a smile is detected.
• Off: The camera does not release the shutter automatically with smile detection.
Press the shutter-release button or tap the subject on the monitor to take a
picture.
• When smile timer is enabled, an indicator is displayed in the monitor with
shooting (A 11). No indicator is displayed when Off is selected.
Exposure comp.
Adjust Exposure comp. (A 52) with shooting in smart portrait mode.
Blink proof
When On is selected, the camera automatically releases the shutter twice each time
a picture is taken. Of the two shots, one in which the subject's eyes are open is
saved.
• If the camera saved a picture in which the subject's
eyes may have been closed, the dialog shown at
right is displayed for a few seconds.
• Flash cannot be used when On is selected.
• The default setting is Off.
• The current setting is displayed in the monitor
(A 11). No indicator is displayed when Off is
selected.
