Smart Portrait Mode (Shooting 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 in human faces.

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.

timer (
