Tips for better capturing of smiles
Do not cover the eyes with the bangs. Do not obscure the face by hat, masks, sunglasses, etc.
Try to orient the face in front of the camera and be as level as possible. Keep the eyes narrowed.
Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to detect when the teeth are shown.
The shutter operates when any person whose face is being detected smiles.
You can select 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. [Details]
If a smile is not detected, select MENU 
[Slight Smile].
