Memo
- This function may not work properly depending on the shooting conditions (distance, angle, brightness, etc.) and the subject (direction of face, smile level, etc.). It is also difficult to detect a smile in backlight.
- After a smile is detected and captured, it takes time before the next recording may be performed.
- “SMILE SHOT” does not work in the following cases:
- when menu is being displayed
- when file information or remaining battery power is being displayed
- when cables are connected to the HDMI (with output other than 1080i) or AV connector during video recording
- when “FACE SUB-WINDOW” is set
- when “ANIMATION EFFECT” is set
Caution
- When “TOUCH PRIORITY AE/AF” is set to “AREA SELECT” or “COLOR TRACKING”, “SMILE SHOT” does not work.
- If appropriate results cannot be obtained, record with “SMILE SHOT” set to “OFF”.
