Using Face Detection
If you use Face Detection options, your camera can automatically detect a human face. When you focus on a human face, the camera 
adjusts the exposure automatically. Use Blink Detection to detect closed eyes or Smile Shot to capture a smiling face. You can also use 
Smart Face Recognition to register faces and prioritize the focus on them.
