Using Smart Portrait Mode

Smile timer

On (default setting): Among the detected faces, if a smile is detected in the face that is framed by a double border, the camera automatically releases the shutter.

Off: The camera does not release the shutter automatically using smile timer; the shutter is only released when the shutter-release button is pressed.

When smile timer is enabled, the current setting is displayed during shooting (A6). When Off is selected, an icon for the current setting is not displayed.

Blink proof

When set to On, the shutter is released two times each time a picture is taken; the camera chooses one image in which the subjects’ eyes are open, and saves it.

The message on the right will be displayed for a

few seconds when the camera records an image in which someone may have been blinking.

When set to On, the flash cannot be used.

A blink was detected in the

picture just taken.

The default setting is Off.

 

When blink proof is enabled, the current setting is

 

displayed during shooting (A6). When Off is

displayed.

BNotes on Skin Softening

When taking pictures with skin softening, the time required to save the pictures increases slightly.

Depending on shooting conditions, even if the camera detects a face on the monitor at the time of shooting, effects of the skin softening function may not be visible, and areas other than the face may be processed. If the desired effect is not achieved, set Skin softening to Off and shoot again.

The amount of skin softening effect that is applied cannot be set while using the portrait or night portrait scene modes.

Skin softening can also be applied to pictures after they have been taken (A72).
