Taking Pictures
Immediately after capturing an image, it appears on the screen display
for 1 second (Instant Review). If the camera detects that the subject’s
eyes are closed while the Face Detection function (p.69) is activated, the
message [Closed eyes have been detected] appears for 3 seconds
(Blink Detection).
The Optio S1 has a variety of shooting modes that let you take pictures in
different situations simply by choosing the appropriate mode for the
particular situation from the Capture Mode Palette.

Press the 4 button.
The shooting mode is fixed and the camera
returns to capture status.
Instant Review and Blink Detection
• When the Face Detection function does not work, Blink Detection also
does not function. Even if the subjects’ faces are detected, Blink
Detection may not function depending on the condition of the detected
faces.
• You can also disable the Blink Detection function (p.100).
