Continuous, Motion Capture; Using Face Detection; Detecting Faces - Samsung PL120 User Manual

Using Face Detection

If you use Face Detection options, your camera can automatically detect a human face. When you focus on a human face, the camera
adjusts the exposure automatically. Use Blink Detection to detect closed eyes or Smile Shot to capture a smiling face. You can also use
Smart Face Recognition to register faces and prioritize the focus on them.
•
The camera automatically tracks the registered face.
•
Face Detection may not be effective when:
- the subject is far from the camera (The focus frame will appear
orange for the 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's facial expression changes drastically
- the subject is backlit or the lighting conditions are unstable
•
Face Detection is not available when you set Smart Filter effects,
Image Adjustment options, or Tracking AF.

Depending on the shooting options, available Face Detection options
may differ.
•
Depending on the Face Detection options you selected, the timer
function may not be available or available timer options may differ.

classified in Playback mode.

A face detected in Shooting mode may not appear in the face list or
