1Frame the picture.

When the camera detects a human face, a yellow double border (focus area) is displayed around that face. When the camera has focused on that face, the double border will turn green for a moment and focus is locked.

Up to three faces can be detected. When the camera detects more than one face, a double border is displayed around the face closest to the center of the frame, and single borders are displayed around the other faces.

2Wait for the subject to smile. Do not press the shutter-release button.

If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, the Smile timer (A 45, E23) feature is activated and the shutter is automatically released.

After the camera releases the shutter, it will continue to detect faces and smiles, and will release the shutter again if it detects a smiling face.

3Shooting ends.

Any one of the following operations can be used to cancel smile detection and stop shooting.

-Turn the camera off.

-Set Smile timer (A 45, E23) to Off.

-Press the A button and select a different shooting mode.
