Soft-Skin Mode
This enables you to record skin colors in a softer tone.
In order to get the best result, avoid background colors
similar to the skin color of the subject. Otherwise, this
may result in a softer background lacking in detail.
• Set to Tape/Card Recording Mode.
1 Press the Joystick Control to display the
One-Touch Navigation icon on the lower
right of the screen.
2 Move the Joystick Control [] until the
page with [ ] indication is displayed.
• To obtain the best effect, we recommend framing
the subject as shown above in the picture.
To Cancel the Soft-Skin Mode
Move the Joystick Control [] to select [ ]
again.
• The [SOFT SKIN MODE OFF] is displayed.
3 Move the Joystick Control [] to select
[ ].
• The [SOFT SKIN MODE ON] is displayed. The
[
] Indication flashes and then is displayed.
Notes:
• If set in a bright place, the screen may become
whitish for a while.
• The MagicPix Function is canceled when you
operate the [OFF/ON] Switch or the Mode Dial.
• In a dark place, the recorded picture is presented in
a time-lapse-like manner.
• Adjust the Focus manually.
• White Balance cannot be set.
• The Shutter Speed cannot be adjusted.
• The Scene Mode cannot be set.
• When recording with the MagicPix Function, it is
recommended that you use a tripod.
• The MagicPix Function makes the signal charging
time of CCD longer up to approx. 30× longer than
usual, so that dark scenes that are invisible to
the naked eyes can be recorded brightly. For this
reason, bright dots may be seen, but this is not a
malfunction.
• The Image Stabilizer Function does not work. In
this case, the [
] Indication flashes.
• The Backlight Compensation Function cannot be
changed.
