Notes on the Smile Timer
•
Digital zoom is not available.
•
Under some shooting conditions, the camera may be unable to detect faces or detect smiles.
•
See “Notes on Face Detection” (
A
53) for more information.
•
This function cannot be used simultaneously with certain functions. See “Camera Settings that
Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously” (
A
78) for more information.
C
Notes on Skin Softening
•
The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening function before
saving images. Therefore, more time than usual is required to save images.
•
In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may not be smoothed or parts other than face may
be modified though the camera detects a face.
•
The skin softening level cannot be adjusted.
•
Skin softening can also be applied on saved images (

How the Self-timer Lamp Functions When Using Smile Timer
If the camera detects a face after pressing the shutter-release button in step 4, the self-timer lamp
blinks, and turns off just before the shutter is released.
