Face Registration (New Registration) - Sony ILCE-6500 Manual

Tips for capturing smiles more effectively
Do not cover the eyes with front hair and keep the eyes narrowed.
Do not obscure the face by a hat, masks, sunglasses, etc.
Try to orient the face in front of the product and be as level as possible.
Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to be detected when the teeth
are shown.
If you press the shutter button during Smile Shutter, the product shoots the image. After
shooting, the product returns to Smile Shutter mode.
Hint
When the [Smile/Face Detect.] is set to [Smile Shutter], you can select the Smile Detection
Sensitivity from [On: Slight Smile], [On: Normal Smile] and [On: Big Smile].
Note
You cannot use the Face Detection function with the following functions:
Other zoom functions than the optical zoom
[Sweep Panorama]
[Picture Effect] is set to [Posterization].
When using the [Focus Magnifier] function.
[Scene Selection] is set to [Landscape], [Night Scene], [Sunset].
[ Record Setting] is set to [120p]/[100p].
Up to 8 faces of your subjects can be detected.
The product may not detect faces at all or may accidentally detect other objects as faces in some
conditions.
If the product cannot detect a face, set the Smile Detection Sensitivity.
If you track a face using [Lock-on AF] while executing Smile Shutter function, Smile Detection is
performed only for that face.
