Taking Pictures of Smiling Faces (Smart Portrait Mode)

Using Smart Portrait Mode

At the default setting, the camera detects smiling faces using face priority and

releases the shutter automatically (smile timer function). The skin softening

function makes a human subject’s skin appear smoother.

1 Display the shooting-mode

selection menu by pressing the A

button in shooting mode, use the

rotary multi selector to choose F,

and then press the k button.

• Smart portrait mode is selected.

2 Frame the picture.

• Point the camera at the subject.

• When the camera detects a face, the focus area

containing the face will be displayed with a yellow

double border, and when focus is locked the double

border will turn green for a moment.

• Up to three faces can be detected. When more than

one face is detected, the face closest to the center of the frame is framed by a double

border and the others by single borders.

3 The shutter is automatically released.

• If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, the Smile

timer function (A 53) automatically releases the shutter.

• When the camera detects a face, the self-timer lamp (A 4) blinks. Immediately after

the shutter is released, the self-timer lamp flickers. Each time the shutter is released,

the camera repeats automatic shooting by face priority and smile detection.

• The shutter can also be released by pressing the shutter-release button. If no face is

detected, the camera focuses on the subject in center of frame.

• When the shutter is released, the camera makes the subject’s skin appear smoother,

then records the image (Skin softening (A 52)).

4 Finish shooting.

• To finish automatic shooting of smiling faces, either turn the camera off, set Smile

timer to Off, or press the A button and select another shooting mode.
