If the camera detects a person’s face, the face will be
framed by a double yellow border in the focus area, and
when the face comes into focus, the double border will
instantly turn green and the focus will be locked.
Up to three faces will be recognized. When the faces of
multiple people are detected, the face nearest the center of the frame will be framed by
a double border in the focus area and the other faces will be framed by a single border.

The shutter is automatically released.
If the camera detects the smiling face of the person framed by a double border, the
shutter is automatically released.
The self-timer lamp ( A 4) blinks when the camera detects a human face. Just after the
shutter is released, the self-timer lamp blinks rapidly.
Each time the shutter is released, the camera again begins face detection and smile
detection operations for continuous automatic shooting.
Pictures can also be taken by pressing the shutter-release button. If the camera does not
detect any faces, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.
