Taking Pictures
With the Optio W80, the Face Recognition
function is available with all shooting modes.
When the camera detects a person’s face in the image,
the Face Recognition function displays a yellow face
recognition frame around the face on the display
screen, sets the focus (Face Recognition AF) and
compensates the exposure (Face Recognition AE).
If the subject in the face recognition frame moves, the
frame also moves and changes size as it tracks the face.
The Face Recognition function can recognize
up to 32 people’s faces. If it recognizes multiple
faces, the camera displays a yellow frame over
the main face and white frames over the other
faces. It can display up to a total of 31 frames,
including both the main and white frames.
(Maximum of 30 in Half-length Portrait mode)
By default, the Face Recognition function is set
to Face Priority On. You can switch to the Smile
Capture function, which automatically releases
the shutter when your subject smiles. The Face
Recognition function is switched as follows each
time the
I
button is pressed:
J
Smile Capture
→
Face Priority Off
→
I
Face Priority On.
Using the Face Recognition Function
•
Face Recognition AF and AE may not work if the subject is wearing
sunglasses, has part of their face covered or is not looking toward the camera.
• If the camera cannot recognize the subject’s face, the camera focuses
using the setting currently selected in the focusing area.
• However, the Smile Capture function may not work and an image may
not be captured, even when turned on, depending on the condition of
the recognized faces, such as the faces being too small. If this
happens, press the shutter release button to take a picture.
