Smile/Face Detect.
Detects the faces of your subjects and adjusts the focus, exposure, flash settings and performs image processing
automatically.
Menu item details
Off:
Does not use the [Face Detection] function.
On (Regist. Faces):
Detects the registered face with higher priority using [Face Registration].
On:
Detects a face without giving higher priority to the registered face.
Smile Shutter:

Face Detection frame
When the product detects a face, the gray face detection frame appears. When the product determines that
autofocus is enabled, the face detection frame turns white. When you press the shutter button halfway down, the
frame turns green.
In case you have registered the priority order for each face using [Face Registration], the product automatically
selects the first prioritized face and the face detection frame over that face turns white. The face detection frames of
other registered faces turn reddish-purple.
Tips for capturing smiles more effectively
Do not cover the eyes with front hair and keep the eyes narrowed.
Do not obscure the face by a hat, masks, sunglasses, etc.
Try to orient the face in front of the product and be as level as possible.
Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to be detected when the teeth are shown.
If you press the shutter button during Smile Shutter, the product shoots the image. After shooting, the product returns
to Smile Shutter mode.
Hint
When the [Smile/Face Detect.] is set to [Smile Shutter], you can select the Smile Detection Sensitivity from [On: Slight Smile],
[On: Normal Smile] and [On: Big Smile].
Note
You cannot use the Face Detection function with the following functions:
MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Smile/Face Detect.] → desired setting.
