Using Skin Softening

In the following settings, if human faces are detected, the camera processes the
image to soften facial skin tones before saving the image (up to three faces).

Notes About Skin Softening
It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting.
Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be achieved,
and skin softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.

Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus

The camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In rare cases, the
subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator
is displayed in green:
Subject is very dark
Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun
behind the subject makes that subject appear very dark)
No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject wearing
a white shirt is standing in front of a white wall)
Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside
a cage)
Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple rows of
similarly shaped windows, etc.)
Subject is moving rapidly
In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to
refocus several times, or focus on another subject positioned at the same distance
from the camera as the actual desired subject, and use focus lock (A56).
