Face Detection frame

When the product detects a face, the gray face detection frame appears. When the product determines that autofocus is enabled, the face detection frame turns white. When you press the shutter button halfway down, the frame turns green.

In case you have registered the priority order for each face using [Face Registration], the product automatically selects the first prioritized face and the face detection frame over that face turns white. The face detection frames of other registered faces turn reddish-purple.

Tips for capturing smiles more effectively

Do not cover the eyes with front hair and keep the eyes narrowed. Do not obscure the face by a hat, masks, sunglasses, etc.

Try to orient the face in front of the product and be as level as possible.

Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to be detected when the teeth are shown.

If you press the shutter button during Smile Shutter, the product shoots the image. After shooting, the product returns to Smile Shutter mode.

Hint

When the [Smile/Face Detect.] is set to [Smile Shutter], you can select the Smile Detection Sensitivity from [On: Slight Smile], [On: Normal Smile] and [On: Big Smile].

Note

You cannot use [Face Detection] with the following functions:
