Shooting in Smile Mode
Automatic Shooting of Smiling Faces
Notes on Blink Proof
The blink proof function can be used in smile mode.
The camera takes two pictures and chooses an image in
which the subjects’ eyes are open.
• The message on the right will be displayed for a few
seconds when the camera detects someone blinking
in the picture taken.
• To turn blink proof on or off, press the d button in
smile mode to display the smile mode menu and choose Blink proof to change
the setting.
• The setting for blink proof can be previewed in the monitor (A6).
C Face Priority and Smiling Face Detection Features
When the camera is pointed at a face looking toward the camera in smile mode, the face is
automatically recognized and that smiling face will be detected.
• Under some shooting conditions, face priority will not take effect and smiling faces cannot be
detected.
• See “Shooting with Face Priority” (A112) for more information about face priority.
C Operation of the Shutter-Release Button
Pictures can also be taken by pressing the shutter-release button.
• When a face is detected, the focus is locked to the detected face and the shutter is released.
• If no face is detected, the camera focuses on the subject in center of frame.
