Shooting images using Scene Selection
Shooting in Smile Shutter mode
A Press the shutter button all the way down.
The [ ] is displayed to indicate that the camera is at the capturing smile screen. When a
smile is detected, the shutter is released automatically. The smile shutter lamp will light
after shooting (page 17).
B Holding down the shutter button again exits the capturing smile screen.
• A maximum of six images can be taken. Shooting ends automatically when either the recording medium/
internal memory becomes full or six images is reached.
• If a smile is not detected, set the [Smile Level] (page 83).
• A smile cannot be detected unless a face is detected.
• Depending on the shooting environment, faces cannot be detected and the shutter may not function.
• A smile can be detected for only one person displayed in the face detection frame after pressing the shutter
button all the way down.
• If multiple faces are detected, the face touched before pressing the shutter button halfway down is given
priority. If no face is touched, the camera will select the primary subject for deciding which face is given
priority.
• The image may not be in focus if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after
pressing the shutter button all the way down. The suitable exposure may not be obtained if the
surrounding brightness changes.
• Depending on the shooting situation, the camera may judge that the face is smiling and make the shutter
function, even if the face is not smiling.
z Hints for better capturing of smiles
A Do not cover the eyes with the bangs.
B Try to orient the face in front of the camera and be as level as possible. The eyes are
easier to detect when narrowed.
C Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to detect when the teeth are
showing.
