B Notes on Smile timer
• The digital zoom is not available.
• When the smile timer is selected, the monitor is not turned off even when the x button is pressed
(A14).
• Under some shooting conditions, faces and smiling faces may not be detected properly.
• See “Notes on Face Priority” (A87) for more information.
• This feature cannot be used simultaneously with certain features. See “Functions that Cannot be
Applied Simultaneously” (A108) for more information.
B Notes on Skin Softening
• In images taken with the Smile timer, the camera makes the subject’s skin appear smoother (up to
three people), and then records the image (Skin softening function). This means that the image
recording time is longer than usual.
• Depending on shooting conditions, even if the camera detects a face on the monitor at the time
of shooting, effects of the skin softening function may not be visible, and areas other than the face
may be processed.
• The extent of skin softening effect that is applied cannot be set.
• Skin softening can also be applied to pictures after they have been taken (A139).
C Operation of the Self-Timer Lamp for Smile timer
When the camera detects a face after the shutter-release button is pressed in step 4, the self-timer
lamp blinks. Immediately before the shutter is released, the self-timer lamp turns off.
D More Information
See “Autofocus” (A29) for more information.
