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.
To finish automatic shooting of smile detection, perform any of the following operations.
- Set the Smile timer to Off.
- Rotate the mode dial to switch to a shooting mode other than F (smart portrait)
mode.
- Turn off the camera.
