    Tips for Better Auto Shutter Snapshots
    • Using Auto Shutter in combination with Anti Shake (page 62) reduces the chance 
    of image blur even more.
    • While recording with Detect Blur or Detect Smile, keep the camera as still as 
    possible until the recording operation is complete.
    IMPORTANT!
    • If the camera remains in Auto Shutter standby without releasing the shutter, you 
    can record an image by pressing the shutter button all the way down again.
    • Detect Blur and Detect Panning may not produce the desired effect when shooting 
    in an area where dim lighting requires a slow shutter speed, or when the subject is 
    moving extremely quickly.
    • Since facial expressions differ from individual to individual, you may experience 
    problems with getting the camera to release the shutter while Detect Smile is being 
    used. If this happens, change the trigger sensitivity setting.
    • The Auto Power Off (page 130) trigger time is fixed at five minutes while the 
    camera is in Auto Shutter standby. Sleep (page 129) is disabled while Auto Shutter 
    being used.
    • To cancel Auto Shutter recording while movement, panning, or smile detection is 
    being performed (indicated by “0 Auto” flashing on the monitor screen), press 
    [SET].
    • Auto Shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following features.
    – Some BEST SHOT sample scenes (Business cards and documents, White 
    board, etc., Prerecord (Movie), For YouTube, Voice Recording)
    • The following functions are disabled when shooting with Auto Shutter.

    .To shoot a snapshot using pre-recorded face data
    1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
    2.Use [8] and [2] to select the fifth Control Panel option from the top 
    (Face Recognition).
    3.Use [4] and [6] to select “H
     Face Recognition: Family First” and then 
    press [SET].
    4.Point the camera at the subject(s).
    The camera will detect human faces and display a boundary around each one.
    • The boundaries will be colored according to the priority level of the face: white 
    (lowest), yellow, or light blue (highest). The light blue boundary indicates the 
    highest priority face when the image is recorded.
    5.Half-press the shutter button.
    This will focus on the face with the highest priority (the one with the light blue 
    boundary) and adjust its brightness. A green focus frame will appear at the 
    highest priority face.
    6.When you are ready to shoot, press the shutter button the rest of the 
    way.
    NOTE
    • Selecting the Family First mode causes the AF area setting (page 63) to change to 
    “O Tracking” automatically.
    To give priority to detection speed or number of faces
    1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
    2.Use [8] and [2] to select the fifth Control Panel option from the top 
    (Face Recognition).
    3.Use [4] and [6] to select “L Priority” and then press [SET].
    4.Use [8] and [2] to select the setting you want, and then press [SET].
    SpeedMinimizes face recognition time, and limits the number of faces that 
    can be detected at one time to five.
    QuantityEnables detection of a maximum of five to ten faces. With this 
    setting, the camera recognizes faces in the image that are smaller 
    and further away from the camera (when shooting with the Normal 
    mode). 
    						
    							37Snapshot Tutorial
    Tips for Best Face Recognition Results
    • Face recognition in the Family First mode is slightly faster than that in the Normal 
    mode. Also, compared with the Normal mode, the Family First mode will not be 
    able to detect faces that are far away and small.
    • The camera performs center focus if it cannot detect a face.
    • Always make sure that Auto Focus (AF) is selected as the focus mode when 
    shooting with face recognition.
    • Face recognition may take a bit longer when you hold the camera sideways.
    • Even if you have the face of a family member pre-recorded, the person’s facial 
    expression, shooting conditions, or other factors can make proper detection 
    (highest priority assignment) impossible.
    • Face recognition can be improved by pre-recording multiple versions of the same 
    person’s face indoors and outdoors, with different expressions, and at different 
    angles.
    • Detection of the following types of faces is not supported.
    – Face that is obstructed by hair, sunglasses, a hat, etc., or a face in dark shade
    – A profile or a face that is at an angle
    – A face that is very far away and small, or very close and large
    – A face in an area that is very dark
    – The face of a pet or some other non-human subject
    IMPORTANT!
    • Face recognition cannot be used in combination with any of the following features.
    – Some BEST SHOT scenes (Business cards and documents, White board, etc., 
    Prerecord (Movie), For YouTube, Voice Recording)
    – Movie Recording
    • The following functions are disabled when shooting with face recognition.

    Your camera has three continuous shutter modes.
    *To turn off a continuous shutter mode, select “Off”.
    1.In the REC mode, press [SET].
    2.Use [8] and [2] to select the sixth Control Panel option from the top 
    (Continuous Shutter).
    3.Use [4] and [6] to select the continuous shutter mode you want, and 
    then press [SET].
    4.Press the shutter button to shoot.
    Images continue to be shot as long as you keep the shutter button depressed. 
    Releasing the shutter button stops shooting.
    Using Continuous Shutter (Continuous)
     Normal 
    Speed CSContinually records images until memory becomes full. 
     High 
    Speed CSContinually records images at a speed that is faster than Normal-
    speed, until memory becomes full. Image size is fixed at 2M 
    (1600
    x1200 pixels). 
     Flash CSFlash Continuous Shutter shoots up to three images with flash if the 
    shutter button is kept depressed. Shooting stops if you release the 
    shutter button before three images are recorded.

    NOTE
    • With continuous shutter, exposure and focus for the first image are applied for 
    successive images as well.
    • Continuous shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following.
    Some BEST SHOT scenes (Business cards and documents, White board, etc., 
    Prerecord (Movie), For YouTube, Voice Recording)
    • The continuous shutter rate depends on the current image size and image quality 
    settings.
    • The speed of Normal-speed Continuous Shutter and High-Speed Continuous 
    Shutter depends on the type of memory card loaded in the camera and the amount 
    of free space available for storage. When shooting to built-in memory, continuous 
    shutter shooting is relatively slow.
    • Flash is turned off 
    ? automatically when High-speed Continuous Shutter is 
    selected.
    • With flash continuous shutter, the flash mode automatically becomes 
    < (flash on).
    • You cannot use the self-timer in combination with Normal-speed or High-speed 
    Continuous Shutter.
    • Note that images recorded with High-speed and Flash Continuous Shutter are of 
    somewhat lower resolution and more prone to digital noise than images recorded 
    with Normal-speed Continuous Shutter.
    • The ISO sensitivity setting always is “Auto” for High-speed and Flash Continuous 
    Shutter, regardless of the camera’s current ISO sensitivity setting.
    • The flash range for Flash Continuous Shutter is narrower than that for normal flash.
