Common Operations
With the Optio M50, the Face Recognition function is available with all
shooting modes except O mode.
In the Face Recognition function, you can choose the Face Priority
function that recognizes the subject’s face, focuses (Face Recognition
AF) and performs exposure compensation (Face Recognition AE), and
the Smile Capture function* that recognizes the subject’s face, focuses
(Face Recognition AF), performs exposure compensation (Face
Recognition AE) and captures an image automatically.
* If the face detected by the camera is too small, an image may not be captured
automatically because the Smile Capture function will not work.
By default, the Face Recognition function is set to Face Priority On. The Face
Recognition function is switched as follows each time the
I
button is pressed:
Smile Capture On ´ Face Priority Off ´ Face Priority On
An icon indicating either Face Priority On or Smile Capture On appears
on the display. (The icon does not appear when the Face Recognition
function is not activated.)
