Shooting Smiling Faces (Smart Portrait Mode)

border (focus area) is displayed around that face. When |
|
focus is acquired on that face, the double border will turn |
|
green for a moment and focus is locked. | 1/ 250 F3.2 |
Up to three faces can be detected. When the camera
detects more than one face, the double border is displayed around the face closest to the center of the frame, and single borders around the others.
Tap the face framed by a single border to change the focus area to that face.

If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, Smile timer (A77) is activated and the shutter is automatically released.
Each time the shutter is released, the camera again initiates face detection and smile detection operations for continuous automatic shooting.
4Shooting ends.
To stop automatic shooting of smiling faces, either turn the camera off, set Smile timer to Off, or press the Abutton and select another shooting mode.
