Taking photos and videos of people

When a photo mode is selected, the Camera app can detect people faces and eyes. When a face or eye is detected, the detection frame appears. Tap (Eye AF icon) to switch the focus between faces and an eye. When multiple faces are detected, tap any frame to select the face on which you want to focus. When the camera is set to focus on eyes, tap any face to select the eye on which you want to focus.
When a video mode is selected, the Camera app can detect people faces. Faces in focus are indicated with a colored frame.

Use Smile Shutter to automatically take a photo when a person smiles. If you are recording a video, a photo is taken each time a smile is detected.

Note

  • The eye AF feature is not available when taking selfies or recording videos.

To take photos and videos of people

  • Consider the camera orientation. Use portrait for close-up photos, to fill the frame. Use landscape for close-up group photos, or to capture an object in the background.
  • Place the camera on a solid surface and use the self-timer to prevent blurred photos.
