Perfect for Portrait Shots!
The Optio RS1500 comes with a "Face Detection" function that spots the
faces in your shot and automatically adjusts the focus and exposure for
the faces. It can detect up to 10 people per shot (*), so it will help you
take perfect group shots too. It will automatically release the shutter
when people are smiling, so you can always get the best shot. It also has
a feature that lets you enlarge each person's face in sequence during
playback so you can quickly check their facial expressions.
