Shooting Features
Smart Portrait Mode (Capturing Smiling Faces)
When the camera detects a smiling face, you can take a picture automatically without
pressing the shutter-release button (smile timer). You can use the skin softening option to
smooth the skin tones in human faces.
1 Frame the picture.
• 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 turn
green for a moment and focus is locked.
• Up to three faces can be detected. When the camera detects more than one face, a double
border is displayed around the face closest to the center of the frame, and single borders are
displayed around the other faces.
2 Wait for the subject to smile. Do not press the shutter-release button.
• If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, the Smile timer
(A 45, E23) feature is activated and the shutter is automatically released.
• After the camera releases the shutter, it will continue to detect faces and smiles, and will
release the shutter again if it detects a smiling face.
3 Shooting ends.

shooting.
-Turn the camera off.
