seconds when the camera detects someone blinking
in the picture taken.

d button in
smile mode to display the smile mode menu and choose Blink proof to change
the setting.

Face Priority and Smiling Face Detection Features
When the camera is pointed at a face looking toward the camera in smile mode, the face is
automatically recognized and that smiling face will be detected.
