Without pressing the shutter-release button,
frame the picture and wait for the subject to
smile.
• When the camera detects a human face, a yellow
double border (focus area) is displayed around that
face. When the camera has focused 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, a
double border is displayed around the face closest to the center of the frame, and
single borders are displayed around the other faces.
• If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, the Smile
timer (A56) feature is activated and the shutter is automatically released.
• After the camera releases the shutter, it will continue to detect faces and smiles, and
will release the shutter again if it detects a smiling face.
