This camera comes with a “Face Detection” function that spots the faces
in your shot and automatically adjusts the focus and exposure for the
faces. It can detect up to 32 people per shot (*), so it will help you take
perfect group shots too. It will automatically release the shutter when
people are smiling, or if anyone blinked, it will tell you that so you can
take the shot again until it is perfect. It also has a feature that lets you
enlarge each person’s face in sequence during playback so you can
quickly check their facial expressions.
* Up to 31 face detection frames are displayed on the monitor.
When you take a picture with this
camera, you can choose from fun
frames to create attractive framed shots
(p.90). You can also add frames to
pictures you have taken (p.169). Adjust
the position of the subject in the picture
or reduce or enlarge the picture size to
match the frame shape and size. Now
you no longer have to worry about the
subject not fitting into the frame.
With this camera, you can display recorded images and sound files by
date in calendar format (p.137). This lets you quickly find the image or
sound file you want to play back.
