Smart Portrait Mode (Capturing Images of Smiling Faces)

When the camera detects a smiling face, you can take a picture automatically
without pressing the shutter-release button (smile timer). You can use the skin
softening option to smooth the skin tones of human faces.

Frame a picture and wait for the subject to
smile without pressing the shutter-release

• When the camera detects a human face, a yellow
double border (focus area) is displayed around that
face. When focus is acquired on that face, the double
border will turn green for a moment and focus is
locked.
• Up to three faces can be detected. When the camera detects more than one face, the
double border is displayed around the face closest to the center of the frame, and
single borders around the others.
Tap the face framed by a single border to change the focus area to that face.
• If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, Smile
timer (A53) is activated and the shutter is automatically released.
• Each time the shutter is released, the camera again initiates face detection and smile
detection operations for continuous automatic shooting.
