Hints for better capturing of smiles

1

Do not cover the eyes with the bangs.

Do not obscure the face by hat, masks, sunglasses, etc.

2

Try to orient the face in front of the camera and be as level as possible. Keep the eyes narrowed.

3

Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to detect when the teeth are showing.

• The shutter operates when any person whose face is being detected smiles.

• You can select or register the selected subject for face detection with [Face Detection]. When the selected face is registered in the camera memory, Smile Detection is performed only for that face.

To perform smile detection for a different face, touch that face (page 67).

• If the camera does not detect a smile, set the Smile Detection Sensitivity.
