Smart Portrait Mode (Capturing Smiling Faces)
When the camera detects a smiling face, you can take a picture automatically without
pressing the shutter-release button (smile timer). You can use the skin softening option to
smooth the skin tones in people’s faces.

• Point the camera at a person’s face.

2 Wait for the subject to smile. Do not press the shutter-release button.
• If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, it automatically
releases the shutter (Smile timer; A 65, E41).
• After the camera releases the shutter, it continues to detect faces and smiles, and releases
the shutter again if it detects a smiling face.

• To cancel smile detection and stop shooting, perform any of the following operations:
-Turn the camera off.
-Set Smile timer (A 65, E41) to Off.
