• Try to orient the face in front of the camera and keep it as level as
possible.
• Hold a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to detect when
the teeth are showing.

activated, the camera shoots the image, and then returns to Smile Shutter.
Notes
• The Smile Shutter function works only when the camera is set to the autofocus in
Live View mode. It does not work in the following cases: if the camera is in
viewfinder mode, when using the manual focus, manual focus check, or smart
teleconverter functions.
• The drive mode is automatically set to (Single-shot adv.).
• The AF illuminator does not work with the Smile Shutter function.
• If the camera does not detect a smile, change the settings for Smile Detection
Sensitivity.
• Smiles may not be detected correctly, depending on the shooting conditions.
