Using Face Detection; Detecting Faces - Samsung WB150 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 the Selection AF,
Tracking AF, or Manual Focus.

Depending on the shooting options you selected, available Face
Detection options may differ.

Depending on the Face Detection options you selected, the timer
function may not be available.

•

(p. 79) Even though faces are registered successfully, they may not be
classified in Playback mode.
