Taking Pictures
* In addition to the modes listed above, 9 (Green) mode (p.72) and Voice
Recording (p.158) are also available.
With the Optio S1, the Face Detection function
is available with all shooting modes.
When the camera detects a person’s face in the
image, the Face Detection function displays a
yellow face detection frame around the face on
the screen display, sets the focus (Face
Detection AF) and compensates the exposure
(Face Detection AE).
If the subject in the face detection frame moves,
the frame also moves and changes its own size
as it tracks the face.
The Face Detection function can detect up to
16 people’s faces. If it detects multiple faces,
the camera displays a yellow frame over the
main face and white frame(s) over the other
face(s).
The default setting is [On]. You can switch to
the Smile Capture function that automatically
releases the shutter when the subject smiles.
Refer to “Switching the Face Detection
Function” (p.100) for details.
o Miniature Filter
For capturing an image where the subject looks
like a miniature object.
p.83
p HDR Filter For capturing an image with HDR-like effect. p.83
In shooting modes other than R, A, c and N, saturation,
contrast, sharpness, white balance, etc. are set to the optimal settings
for the selected mode.
Some functions may not be available or may not work fully depending
on the selected shooting mode. For details, refer to “Functions
Available for Each Shooting Mode” (p.196).
