Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile 

Shutter™ button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and 

indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can now be 

used together with Smile Shutter™ mode when the Intelligent Auto mode is on.  This means that 

beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult 

conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
