- 49 -This brightens dark parts so the image can be recorded clearly.≥ If there are extremely dark parts or the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not beclear.This makes the image brighter to prevent darkening of a backlit subject.This makes skin colours appear softer for a more attractive appearance.This is more effective if you record a person closely from the torso up.≥ If the background or anything else in the scene has colours similar to the skin colour, theywill also be smoothed.≥ If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.≥ If you record a person in the distance, the face may not be recorded clearly. In this case,cancel soft skin mode or zoom in on the face (close-up) to record.A more impressive image can be obtained by focusing on the object only in close-upand shading off the background.≥ The unit can focus on the subject at a distance of approx. 60 cm.≥ When the Tele macro is set with the zoom magnification less than 26k in motion picturerecording mode, it will automatically be set to 26k.≥ When the aspect ratio is [4:3] during the still picture recording mode and tele macro is setwith the zoom magnification less than 21k, the zoom magnification will automatically beset to 21k.
