  • 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 “DECORATE FACE EFFECT” is set
    - when “STAMP” is set
    - when “HANDWRITING EFFECT” is set
    - when “AUTO REC” is set
    - when “DATE/TIME RECORDING” is set

Caution

  • If “TOUCH PRIORITY AE/AF” is not set to “FACE TRACKING”, “SMILE SHOT” will not work.
