Shooting Features
Smart Portrait Mode (Shooting Smiling Faces)
If the camera detects smiling faces, the shutter is
automatically released without pressing the shutter-
release button (smile timer). The skin softening
function makes facial skin tones softer.
1 Frame the picture and wait for the subject to
smile.
• When the camera detects a human face, a yellow
double border (focus area) is displayed around that
face. When the camera has focused on that face, the
double border will light in green for a moment and
focus is locked.
• Up to 3 faces can be detected. When more than one face is detected, the face closest
to the center of the frame is framed by a double border and the others by single
borders.
• If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, the Smile
timer (A63) feature is activated and the shutter is automatically released.
• Each time the shutter is released, automatic shooting using face detection and smile
detection is repeated.
2 Shooting ends.
• To finish automatic shooting of smile detection, perform any of the following operations.
- Set the Smile timer to Off.
- Rotate the mode dial to switch to a shooting mode other than F (smart portrait)
mode.
- Turn off the camera.
B Notes on Smart Portrait Mode
• The digital zoom is not available.
• Under some shooting conditions, faces and smiling faces may not be detected properly.
• See “Notes on Face Detection” (A67) for more information.
C When the Self-timer Lamp Flashes
When the camera detects a face, the self-timer lamp flashes. The lamp quickly flashes immediately
after the shutter is released.
C Releasing the Shutter Manually
The shutter can also be released by pressing the shutter-release button. If no faces are detected, the
camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
