Using Face Detection; Detecting Faces - Samsung EC-HZ30WZBPBUS 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 w ll 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
