•A maximum of 6 images can be taken. Shooting ends automatically when either the recording medium/ internal memory becomes full or 6 images is reached.

•If a smile is not detected, set the [Smile Level] (page 78).

•A smile can be detected for only one person displayed in the face detection frame after pressing the shutter button all the way down.

•If multiple faces are detected, the face touched before pressing the shutter button halfway down is given priority. If no face is touched, the camera will select the primary subject for deciding which face is given priority.

z Hints for better capturing of smiles

ADo not cover the eyes with the bangs.

BTry to orient the face in front of the camera and be as level as possible. The detection rate is higher when the eyes are narrowed.

CGive a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to detect when the teeth are showing.
