Using Face Detection; Detecting Faces - Samsung WB100 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.

When your camera detects a face, it tracks the detected face
automatically.

orange for Smile Shot and Blink Detection.)

- 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
