Using Face Detection; Detecting Faces - Samsung PL150 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. Take photos quickly and easily by using 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.
In some scene modes, face detection is unavailable.
Face detection may not be effective when:
- the subject is far from the camera (The focus frame will appear
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
Face detection is not available when using a photo style,
smart filter effect, or image adjustment option or when used with
Tracking AF.
Face detection is not available when using the digital zoom.
Depending on the selected face detection option, the timer is not
available or some timer options are not available.
Depending on the selected face detection option, some burst options
are not available.
When you take photos of detected faces, they will be registered in
the face list.
You can view registered faces in order of priority in Playback mode.
(p. 63) Even though faces are registered successfully, they may not be
classified in Playback mode.
The detected face in Shooting mode may not appear in the face list
or Smart Album.
