Smile Mode automatically releases the shutter when
the selected subject smiles, helping you to faithfully
record precious smiles in the brief instants they
appear. The Smile Indicator displays a gauge that lets
you identify the best smiles on loved ones. And Blink
Warning alerts you when it suspects that a subject has
blinked, allowing you to immediately retake the shot
and get the desired results.
