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.

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