İt is not changing to turn off. Sony dev. Please check this error.
Look at two pictures and you can try yourself.
İ think This bug can effect to as retrica as other camera app, and there is terribly camera performance.
Soft skin Mode too bad and not turning off, we dont want this mode, we want more sharpen and better pic with front camera.
i tried it on my phone it stays off once i click on it.
try to clear data of the camera app settings>apps>camera>clear data..... restart your device,
if possible can you try to uninstall 3rd party camera apps, and observe if the problem still exists
it becomes smooth in superior auto mode because it detects the scene as soft snap or infant.. (well on my device that is.)
try to change in manual mode to see if there is still smoothing happening.
does it show (smoothing) when you snap the picture? try to view it on the computer, the dispay on the phone might be adding more the post processing.,
and also what device are you using?
Sony, please fix the Soft skin bug on the Z3.
Seriously, I did not know the phone came with this, if I knew I wouldn't have bought it. It completely destroys the purpose of the nice quality camera. My pictures of others turn out blurry and terrible. Like sometimes it blurs out someone's nose completely... It's awful. I got the phone to take nice pictures, but they all turn out awful because of this ugly effect. There is nothing that would disable it and I'm extermely sad and disappointed that I spent this much money on this phone. Who even thought this feature would be a good idea?! How?! It's not like a little blurry, it gets completely out of focus, awful blurry after taking a picture. 
Please Sony, do something about it.
