Taking Pictures with the Smile Timer
The camera uses face detection to detect human faces, and then automatically
releases the shutter when a smile is detected. The skin softening option can be
used to smooth skin tones of human faces.
This feature can be used when shooting mode (
A 42) is set to A (auto) mode or
the e (night portrait) or
Portrait scene mode (A 55).

compensation, or items in the shooting menu, adjust the
settings before pressing
n.

If a setting is not applied by pressing the k button

Frame a picture.
Point the camera at the subject.
When the camera detects a human face, that face is
framed by a double border (focus area).
Up to three faces can be detected. When the camera
detects more than one face, the double border (focus
area) is displayed around the face closest to the center of
the frame, and single borders around the others.
When more than one face is detected, press the
k button and select the face to be
focused on. Press the rotary multi selector J or K to choose the face to be focused on,
and press the k button.

Smile detection begins, and if the camera detects that the face framed by the double
border is smiling, the double border turns green and the shutter is automatically
released.
Each time the shutter is released, the camera repeats automatic shooting by face
detection and smile detection.
