Using face detection
If you use face detection options, your camera can automatically detect a human face. When you focus on a human face, the camera
adjusts the exposure automatically. Take photos quickly and easily by using
Blink Detection
to detect closed eyes or
Smile Shot
to
capture a smiling face. You can also use
Smart Face Recognition
to register faces and prioritize the focus on them.
