Taking Pictures of Smiling Faces (Smart Portrait Mode)

In the default setting, the camera detects smiling faces using face priority and releases the shutter automatically (smile timer function). The Skin softening function makes a human subject’s skin appear smoother.

The camera enters smart portrait mode.

2Frame the picture.

Point the camera at the subject.

When the camera detects a face, the focus area containing the face is displayed with a double border.

Up to three faces can be detected. When more than one face is detected, the face closest to the center of the frame is framed by a double border and the others by single borders.
