Smile Shutter™
Use the Smile Shutter™ function to determine what kind of smile the camera reacts

autofocus is on, the camera keeps adjusting focus so that the area within the yellow
focus frame stays sharp.

The camera automatically focuses on the selected subject. Continuous autofocus is on. Touch and hold
the camera screen until the yellow focus frame turns blue, indicating that the focus is set. The photo is
taken when you release your finger.
Multi auto focus
The focus is automatically set on several areas of the image. Touch and hold the camera screen until the
yellow focus frame turns blue, indicating that the focus is set. The photo is taken when you release your
finger. Continuous autofocus is off.
Face detection
The camera automatically detects up to five human faces, indicated by frames on the screen. The
camera automatically focuses on the nearest face. You can also select which face to focus on by tapping
it on the screen. When you tap the camera screen, a blue frame shows which face is selected and in
focus. Face detection cannot be used for all scene types. Continuous autofocus is on.
Touch focus
Touch a specific area on the camera screen to set the area of focus. Continuous autofocus is off. Touch
and hold the camera screen until the yellow focus frame turns blue, indicating that the focus is set. The

Object tracking

This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
HDR
Use the HDR (High Dynamic Range) setting to take a photo against strong back light
or in conditions where the contrast is sharp. HDR compensates for the loss of detail
and produces a picture that is representative of both dark and bright areas.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
ISO
You can reduce image blurring caused by dark conditions or moving subjects by
increasing the ISO sensitivity. Also, if you want to take a bright image even in dark
conditions, you can set the ISO sensitivity to a higher value.
