Taking Pictures of Smiling Faces (Smart Portrait Mode)
Using Smart Portrait Mode
At the default setting, the camera detects smiling faces using face priority and
releases the shutter automatically (smile timer function). The skin softening
function makes the subject's skin appear smoother.
1
Enter smart portrait mode by
pressing the A button in shooting
mode and selecting F (press the
multi selector
H or I), and then
pressing the
k button.
• Smart portrait mode is selected.
2
Frame a picture.
• Point the camera at the subject.
• When the camera detects a face, the focus area
containing the face will be displayed with a yellow
double border, and when focus is locked the double
border will turn green for a moment.
• Up to three faces can be detected. When the camera
detects more than one face, the face closest to the center of the frame is framed by a
double border and the others by single borders.
3
The shutter is automatically released.
• If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, the Smile
timer function (
A 48) automatically releases the shutter.
• The self-timer lamp (A 4) blinks when the camera detects a face, and it flickers
immediately after the shutter is released. Each time the shutter is released, the camera
repeats automatic shooting by face priority and smile detection.
• The shutter can also be released by pressing the shutter-release button. If no face is
detected, the camera focuses on the subject in center of frame.
• When the shutter is released, the camera makes the subject’s skin appear smoother,
then records the image (Skin softening ( A 48)).
4
Finish shooting.
• To finish automatic shooting of smiling faces, either turn the camera off, set Smile
timer to Off, or press the A button and select another shooting mode.
