To take a photo using smile detection

  1. With "Smile detection" set, point the camera at your subject. Each detected face is framed (not more than five faces). The camera selects which face to focus on. A yellow frame shows the face in focus.
  2. The camera automatically takes the photo when the subject in focus smiles. The photo is saved on the memory card.
  3. To take a photo, although no smile is detected, press the camera key fully down.
