What it really does is it squeezes the pixels in the centre of the photo to make the subject look slimmer, and at the same time, it slightly widens the outer edges to maintain the picture's perspective. To do this, all you need to do is shoot the picture, view it in review mode, then go to the Design Gallery and select the slimming option, which will do the needful for you. Some of the other effects you may find in the Design Gallery are watercolor, cartoon and antique effects as well as an option to add fancy borders like torn edges.
Besides the gimmick, the R927 has a pretty impressive set of features such as 8.2 megapixel resolution, 3 inch LCD display, 3x optical and 8x digital zoom, 32MB internal memory and 17 shooting modes. For a price of $400 US, you can get a great camera that will also help you get popular as the portrait photographer of choice.
