Shooting Mode	Features	Explanation
Auto Shooting after Smile Detection [Smile Detection]	The camera shoots automatically after detecting a smile, even without you pressing the shutter button.	1.After you select a shooting mode, the camera enters shooting standby mode, and [Smile Detection on] is displayed. 2. Aim the camera at a person. - Each time the camera detects a smile, it will shoot after the lamp lights up. - To pause smile detection, press the < > button. Press the < > button again to resume detection.
		The camera can detect smiles more easily when subjects face the camera and open their mouth wide enough so that teeth are visible. You can also shoot as usual by pressing the shutter button. Switch to another mode when you finish shooting, or the camera will continue shooting each time a smile is detected. To change the number of shots, press the < >< > buttons after choosing [ ]. [Blink Detection] is only available for the final shot. Automatic shooting is not available while you are holding down the [ ] button.
Auto Shooting after Wink Detection [Wink Self-Timer]	Aim the camera at a person and press the shutter button all the way down. The camera will shoot about two seconds after a wink is detected.	1. Compose the shot and press the shutter button halfway. - Make sure a green frame is displayed around the face of the person who will wink. 2. Press the shutter button all the way down. - The camera now enters shooting standby mode, and [Wink to take picture] is displayed. - The lamp blinks and the self-timer sound is played. 3.

		If the wink is not detected, wink again slowly and deliberately. Winking may not be detected if eyes are obscured by hair, a hat, or glasses. Closing and opening eyes at once will also be detected as a wink. If winking is not detected, the camera will shoot about 15 seconds later. If no one is in the shooting area when the shutter button is pressed all the way down, the camera will shoot after a person enters the shooting area and winks. To cancel shooting after you have triggered the self-timer, press the [ ] button. To change the number of shots, press the < >< > buttons after choosing [ ].
