Shooting in Smile Mode
Automatic Shooting of a Smiling Face
Blink Proof Function
The blink proof function is available in smile mode.
Each time a picture is taken, the camera automatically takes two consecutive
shots. Of the two shots, the shot in which the subject’s eyes are open takes priority
and is saved.
If the camera detects that it has saved a picture in which the subject’s eyes may
have closed, the warning shown at right is displayed for a few seconds.
To enable or disable the blink proof function, tap F
in smile mode to display the smile menu and select
Blink proof.
The current setting is displayed in the monitor
(A 9).
C Operation of Shutter-Release Button
Press the shutter-release button to take pictures.
When the face priority takes effect, the focus is locked to the recognized face and the shutter is
released.
When the face priority doesn’t take effect, the camera focuses on subject in the center of the
frame.
