In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may not be smoothed or parts other than face may
be modified though the camera detects a face. If the desired results are not produced, set Skin
softening to Off and shoot again.
The skin softening level cannot be adjusted when the portrait or night portrait is selected in the
scene mode.

pictures after they are taken (A 120).
