z Hints for better capturing of smiles
• The shutter operates when any person whose face is being detected smiles.
• You can select or register the priority subject for face detection with [Face Detection]. When the
selected face is registered in the camera memory, Smile Detection is performed only for that face
(page 78).
• If the camera cannot detect a smile, set the Smile Detection Sensitivity to [Slight Smile].
1 Do not cover the eyes with the bangs.
Do not obscure the face by 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 detect when the teeth are shown.
