zHints for better capturing of smiles
The shutter operates when any person whose face is being detected smiles.
You can select or register the selected subject for face detection with [Face Detection]. When the
selected-face is registered in the camera memory, Smile Detection is performed only for that face.
To perform smile detection for a different face, change the selected face with z on the control
button (page 65).
If a smile is not detected, set the [Smile Detection Sensitivity] in setting menu.
1 Do not cover the eyes with the bangs.
Do not obscure the face by hat, masks, sunglasses, etc.
2 Try to orient the face in front of the camera and be as
level as possible. Keep the eyes narrowed.
3 Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is
easier to detect when the teeth are showing.
