[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.	- If the wink is not detected, wink again slowly and deliberately. - 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.
