Shooting also ends in the following situations. • When 12 pictures have been taken • If five minutes pass after pressing the shutter-release button in step 4 without a smile being detected Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode C Notes on the Smile Timer • Digital zoom is not available. • Under some shooting conditions, the camera may be unable to detect faces or detect smiles. • See "Notes on Face Detection" (A 53) for more information. • This function cannot be used simultaneously with certain functions. See "Camera Settings that Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously" (A 78) for more information. C Notes on Skin Softening • The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening function before saving images. Therefore, more time than usual is required to save images. • In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may not be smoothed or parts other than face may be modified though the camera detects a face. • The skin softening level cannot be adjusted. • Skin softening can also be applied on saved images (A 126). C How the Self-timer Lamp Functions When Using Smile Timer If the camera detects a face after pressing the shutter-release button in step 4, the self-timer lamp blinks, and turns off just before the shutter is released.
