Using Face Detection; Detecting Faces - Samsung WB850 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.
•
When your camera detects a face, it tracks the detected face
automatically.
•
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'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, Selection AF, Tracking AF, or Manual Focus.
