Shooting in One-Touch Portrait Mode
The One-Touch Portrait Menu
The following portrait effects (reducing vividness of skin tones, softening overall
image) can be set in the one-touch portrait menu. Press d in one-touch portrait
mode to display the one-touch portrait menu.
B Face-Priority AF
If no face is recognized when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera focuses on
the center of the frame.
The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
- When the subject is not looking directly at the camera
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the
subject is facing the camera.
If the yellow double border blinks when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera
was unable to focus. Release the button and try again.
In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (A 27),
the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this
occur, switch to A (auto) mode, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from
the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use focus lock (A 27).
C Settings for One-Touch Portrait Mode
The flash mode can be changed. When shooting under low lighting with W selected for flash
mode, processing to reduce noise may be performed automatically, increasing the time required
to save pictures.
The self-timer and exposure compensation can be applied, however, macro mode and digital
zoom are not available.
A Image mode
Choose a combination of image size and image quality (compression) (A 83).
Changes made to this setting apply to all shooting modes (except movie mode).
E Portrait effect
Choose from Normal, Brighter (reduces vividness of skin tones), and Softer (soft
effect).
