Smart Portrait Mode (Shooting Smiling Faces)
If the camera detects smiling faces, the shutter is
automatically released without pressing the shutter-
release button (Smile timer). The skin softening
function (
A 52 ) makes facial skin tones softer.

Frame the picture and wait for the subject to
smile.
• 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 light in green for a moment and focus is locked.
• Up to three faces can be detected. When more than
one face is detected, the face closest to the center of the frame is framed by a double
border and the others by single borders.
• If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, the Smile
timer ( A51) feature is activated and the shutter is automatically released.
• Each time the shutter is released, automatic shooting using face detection and smile
detection is repeated.
