Using the shooting function
To focus on the smile, overlay the Face Detection frame and AF area.
Do not cover the eyes with bangs, etc. Keep the eyes narrowed.
Do not obscure the face with a hat, a mask, sunglasses, etc.
Try to orient the face in front of the camera and keep it as level as
possible.
Hold a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to detect when
the teeth are showing.
If you press the shutter button while the Smile Shutter function is
activated, the camera shoots the image, and then returns to Smile Shutter.
Notes
• When the exposure mode is set to Sweep Panorama or Continuous Advance Priority
AE, the Smile Shutter function cannot be used.
• The drive mode is automatically set to [Single-shot Adv.] or [Remote Cdr.].
• The AF illuminator does not work with the Smile Shutter function.
• If the camera does not detect a smile, change the settings for Smile Detection
Sensitivity.
• Smiles may not be detected correctly, depending on the shooting conditions.
