Using face detection, Detecting faces | Samsung EC-PL21ZZBPPE2

Using face detection

If you use face detection options, your camera can automatically detect a human face. When you focus on a human face, the camera adjusts the exposure automatically. Take photos quickly and easily by using Blink Detection to detect closed eyes or Smile Shot to capture a smiling face. You can also use Smart Face Recognition to register faces and prioritize the focus on them.

•The camera automatically tracks the registered face.

•Face detection may not be effective when:

-- the subject is far from the camera (The focus frame will appear orange for Smile Shot and Blink Detection.)

-- it is too bright or too dark

-- the subject is not facing the camera

-- the subject is wearing sunglasses or a mask

-- the subject is in backlit or the lighting condition is unstable -- the subject’s facial expression changes remarkably

•Face detection is not available when using a smart filter effect, or image adjustment option or when used with Tracking AF.

•Depending on the face detection option you selected, the timer or some timer options are not available.

•Depending on the face detection option you selected, some burst options are not available.

•When you take photos of detected faces, they will be registered in the face list.

•You can view registered faces in order of priority in Playback mode. (p. 63) Even though faces are registered successfully, they may not be classified in Playback mode.

•The detected face in Shooting mode may not appear in the face list or Smart Album.
