Taking Pictures
By default, the Face Detection function is set to Face Detection On. You
can switch to the Smile Capture function, which automatically releases
the shutter when your subject smiles. The Face Detection function is
switched as follows each time the I button is pressed:
Smile Capture ´ Self-portrait Assist ´ Self-portrait Assist + Smile
Capture ´ Face Detection Off ´ Face Detection On
An icon indicating either Face Detection or Smile Capture appears on
the display. (The Face Detection Off icon only appears right after the
Face Detection function is switched to off.)
Face Detection AF and AE may not work if the subject is wearing
sunglasses, has part of their face covered or is not looking toward the
camera.
If the camera cannot detect the subject’s face, the camera focuses
using the setting currently selected in [Focusing Area].
However, the Smile Capture function may not work and an image may
not be captured, even when turned on, depending on the condition of
the recognized faces, such as the faces are too small. If this happens,
press the shutter release button to take a picture.
•In e (Pet) mode, the Face Detection mode is switched to pet
detection (only one pet).
