Shooting Features
Smart Portrait Mode (Shooting Smiling Faces)
If the camera detects smiling faces, the shutter is
automatically released without pressing the shutter-
release button (smile timer). The skin softening
function makes facial skin tones softer.
1 Frame the picture and wait for the subject to
smile.
• When the camera detects a human face, a yellow
double border (focus area) is displayed around that
face. When the camera has focused on that face, the
double border will light in green for a moment and
focus is locked.
• Up to 3 faces can be detected. When more than one face is detected, the face closest
to the center of the frame is framed by a double border and the others by single
borders.
• If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, the Smile
timer (A63) feature is activated and the shutter is automatically released.
• Each time the shutter is released, automatic shooting using face detection and smile
detection is repeated.
2 Shooting ends.
