orange for Smile Shot and Blink Detection)
- it is too bright or too dark
- the subject is not facing the camera
- the subject is wearing sunglasses or a mask
- the subject is in backlighting or the lighting condition is unstable
- the subject's facial expression changes remarkably

adjustment option or when used with Tracking AF.

Depending on the selected face detection option, the timer is not
available or some timer options are not available.
