Tips for better capturing of smiles
  1. Do not cover the eyes with the bangs. Do not obscure the face by hat, masks, sunglasses, etc.

  1. Try to orient the face in front of the camera and be as level as possible. Keep the eyes narrowed.

  1. Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to detect when the teeth are shown.

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

  • You can select or register the priority subject for face detection with [Face Detection]. When the selected face is registered in the camera memory, Smile Detection is performed only for that face. [Details]

  • If a smile is not detected, select MENU [Smile Detection Sensitivity], then set the value to [Slight Smile].

Notes
  • Shooting using the Smile Shutter ends automatically when either the memory card or internal memory becomes full.

  • Smiles may not be detected correctly depending on the conditions.

  • You cannot use the digital zoom function.

  • You may not be able to set some MENU items depending on the selected REC mode. For details, see “MENU items not available in some REC modes.” [Details]
