C Notes on the Smile Timer

• Digital zoom is not available.

• Under some shooting conditions, the camera may be unable to detect faces or detect smiles.

• See “Notes on Face Detection” (A 53) for more information.

• This function cannot be used simultaneously with certain functions. See “Camera Settings that

Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously” (A 78) for more information.

C Notes on Skin Softening

• The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening function before

saving images. Therefore, more time than usual is required to save images.

• In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may not be smoothed or parts other than face may

be modified though the camera detects a face.

• The skin softening level cannot be adjusted.

• Skin softening can also be applied on saved images (A 126).

C How the Self-timer Lamp Functions When Using Smile Timer

If the camera detects a face after pressing the shutter-release button in step 4, the self-timer lamp

blinks, and turns off just before the shutter is released.
