Smile Shutter
• Try to orient the face in front of the camera and keep it as level as
possible.
• Hold a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to detect when
the teeth are showing.
• If you press the shutter button while the Smile Shutter function is
activated, the camera shoots the image, and then returns to Smile Shutter.
Notes
• The Smile Shutter function cannot be used when the exposure mode is set to Sweep
Panorama, Tele-zoom Continuous Priority AE, Movie, or [Hand-held Twilight] in
Scene Selection, or the manual focus is selected.
• The drive mode is automatically set to [Single Shooting] or [Remote Cdr.].
• The AF illuminator does not work with the Smile Shutter function.
• If the camera does not detect a smile, change the settings for Smile Detection
Sensitivity.
• Smiles may not be detected correctly, depending on the shooting conditions.
• If the camera tracks a face using the Object Tracking function with Smile Shutter
turned on, the face becomes the target of the smile detection feature (page 95).
