Using Face Detection; Detecting Faces - Samsung EX1 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.
When your camera detects a face, it tracks the detected face
automatically.
In some s 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 you use a photo style,
smart filter effect, or image adjustment option, or when you use
Selection AF, Manual Focus, or Tracking AF.
Face detection is not available when you set the burst mode.
If you select a face detection option while using the digital zoom, the
digital zoom changes to the optical zoom automatically.
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

classified in Playback mode.
