Notes on the Smile Timer
• Digital zoom is not available.
• Under some shooting conditions, the camera may be unable to detect faces or detect smiles.
• See “Notes on Face Detection” ( A 53) for more information.
• This function cannot be used simultaneously with certain functions. See “Camera Settings that
Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously” ( A 78) for more information.
C
Notes on Skin Softening
• The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening function before
saving images. Therefore, more time than usual is required to save images.
• In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may not be smoothed or parts other than face may
be modified though the camera detects a face.
• The skin softening level cannot be adjusted.
• Skin softening can also be applied on saved images ( A 126).

How the Self-timer Lamp Functions When Using Smile Timer
If the camera detects a face after pressing the shutter-release button in step 4, the self-timer lamp
blinks, and turns off just before the shutter is released.
