Anti-blink Function:
It's frustrating to think you've captured
that perfect shot, only to review it later
and discover one of your subjects
blinked just as you pressed the shutter.
The Anti-blink function works to help
counter blinking and squinting. When
the camera is set to Portrait, the Anti-
blink function captures two images,
recording only the photo with less
squinting. If a blink is detected in other
shooting modes, a warning will be
displayed after you take the shot.
