    Note:

    Soft Skin Effect is a useful feature when streaming. After the camera detects a face, image processing makes the person's skin look smoother.

    MENU → (Exposure/Color) → Color/Tone → Soft Skin Effect → On

    Regardless of the current shooting mode, the camera always switches to the movie recording mode when you start USB streaming. Note that the soft skin effect may not be available with some movie recording file formats and settings.
