Function	Description	Supplemental Information
[Smile] ( )	The camera will shoot, even without pressing the shutter button, when it detects a smile.	- If a smile is not detected, facing the camera and smiling with the mouth open to show some teeth will make it easier for the camera to detect the smile. - You should switch to another mode when you finish shooting, or the camera will continue taking shots each time the camera detects a smile. - You can also shoot by pressing the shutter button.
[Wink Self-Timer] ( )	Point the camera at a person and press the shutter button fully. The camera will shoot approximately two seconds after it detects a wink.	- Wink a bit slowly. - A wink may not be detected if eyes are covered by hair or a hat, or when wearing glasses. - Shutting eyes will also be detected as a wink. - If a wink is not detected, the camera will automatically shoot after about 15 seconds later. - If there are no people in the shot when the shutter button is pressed fully, the camera will shoot after a person enters the shot and winks.
[Face Self-Timer] ( )	The shutter will release approximately two seconds after the camera detects a new face. You can use this when the photographer wants to be in the image, such as a group photo.	- To cancel shooting with the self-timer after the countdown has started, press the < > button - If the camera cannot detect the face of a new subject that has entered the shot, it will shoot after about 15 seconds later.
