If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, Smile timer (A 74) is activated and the shutter is automatically released.

When the camera recognizes a face, the self-timer lamp (A 4) blinks. Immediately after the shutter is released, the self-timer lamp flickers. Each time the shutter is released, the camera again initiates face recognition and smile detection operations for continuous automatic shooting.

Pictures can also be taken by pressing the shutter release button. The camera can focus on the subject at the center of the frame when faces are not recognized.

When the shutter is released, the camera softens the subject’s skin to make it appear smoother and then records the image (Skin softening; A 74).
