Notes
z Hints for better capturing of smiles
• The shutter operates when any person whose face is being detected smiles. You can select the
subject that has priority for face detection with [Face Detection] (page 81).
• If a smile is not detected, set the [Smile Detection Sensitivity] (page 83).
1 Do not cover the eyes with the bangs.
Do not obscure the face by hat, masks, sunglasses, etc.
2 Try to orient the face in front of the camera and be as
level as possible. Keep the eyes narrowed.
3 Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is
easier to detect when the teeth are showing.
