zHints for better capturing of smiles

1Do not cover the eyes with the bangs.

Do not obscure the face by hat, masks, sunglasses, etc.

2Try to orient the face in front of the camera and be as

level as possible. Keep the eyes narrowed.

3Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to detect when the teeth are showing.

•The shutter operates when any person whose face is being detected smiles.

•You can select or register the priority subject for face detection with [Face Detection]. When the selected-face is registered in the camera memory, Smile Detection is performed only for that face. To perform smile detection for a different face, change the priority face with z on the control button (page 52).

•If a smile is not detected, set the [Smile Detection Sensitivity] in setting menu.
