Shooting (Advanced Operations) Detecting faces Shooting techniques • 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 • The [Smile Shutter] function cannot be used when the exposure mode is set to [Sweep Panorama], [Tele-zoom Cont. Priority AE], [Movie], or [Hand-held Twilight] in [Scene Selection], or when manual focus is selected. • [Drive Mode] is automatically set to [Single Shooting]. • 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. • If the camera tracks a face using [Lock-on AF] with Smile Shutter turned on, the face becomes the target of the smile detection feature (page 111). 121
