If the camera recognizes a face looking toward the camera,
the face will be framed by a yellow double border in the
focus area, and when the face comes into focus, the
double border will glow green for a moment and the focus	1/125 F3.1
will be locked.

Up to three faces can be detected. When the camera detects more than one face, the face closest to the center of the frame is framed by a double border and the others by single borders. When a face framed by a single border is tapped twice, the camera focuses on the position indicated by tapping the touch panel.

If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, the shutter is automatically released.

When the camera detects a face, the self-timer lamp (A4) blinks. Immediately after the shutter is released with detection of a smiling face, the self-timer lamp flickers.

Each time the shutter is released, the camera automatically take pictures using the recognizing face and the detecting smiling face features repeatedly.

At default settings, the Blink proof function is activated (A51).
