zHints for better capturing of smiles

• The shutter operates when any person whose face is being detected smiles.

• You can select the priority subject for face detection with [Face Detection]. To perform smile

detection for a different face, change the priority face with z on the control button (page 58).

• If a smile is not detected, set the [Smile Detection Sensitivity] in setting menu.

1 Do not cover the eyes with the bangs.

Do not obscure the face by hat, masks, sunglasses, etc.

2 Try to orient the face in front of the camera and be as

level as possible. Keep the eyes narrowed.

3 Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is

easier to detect when the teeth are shown.
