SR AUTO & Face Detection

Face Detection
Face Detection optimizes people pictures by identifying faces and adjusting focus and exposure to ensure bright, clear results. Red-eye removal automatically detects and corrects flash reflection for a perfect end result.

Blink/Smile Detection
The camera will warn you when people in the frame are blinking, giving you the option to retake the photo, or enlarge the face so you can save or delete the image before you take the next shot. The Smile detection function of Scene Position, automatically releases the shutter when the smile appears so you won’t miss the adorable smile the moment they happen.

Tracking Auto Focus
Keeps fast moving subjects in the frame and in focus, even when the zoom is fully extended.
