Tips for better capturing of smiles
• The shutter operates when any person whose smile is detected.
• If a smile is not detected, set the [Smile Detection] in the menu.
1 Do not cover the eyes with the bangs.
Do not obscure the face by a hat, masks, sunglasses, etc.
2 Try to orient the face in front of the camera and be as level as
possible.
Keep the eyes narrowed.
3 Give a clear smile with an open mouth.
The smile is easier to be detected when the teeth are shown.
