The camera uses face detection to detect human faces, and then automatically

When the camera detects a human face, a double border
(focus area) is displayed around that face. When focus is
acquired on that face, the double border will turn green
for a moment and focus is locked.
Up to three faces can be detected. When the camera
detects more than one face, the double border (focus area) is displayed around the face
closest to the center of the frame, and single borders around the others.

If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, the shutter is
automatically released.
Each time the shutter is released, the camera repeats automatic shooting by face
detection and smile detection.

To end automatic shooting by smile detection, either turn off the camera or set the
smile timer to OFF.
