Sony A55VHZ Manual

• To focus on the smile, overlay the Face Detection frame and AF area.
• Do not cover the eyes with bangs, etc. Keep the eyes narrowed.
• Do not obscure the face with a hat, a mask, sunglasses, etc.
• Try to orient the face in front of the camera and keep it as level as 

possible.

• Hold a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to detect when 

the teeth are showing.

• If you press the shutter button while the Smile Shutter function is 

activated, the camera shoots the image, and then returns to Smile Shutter.

Notes
• When the exposure mode is set to Sweep Panorama or Continuous Advance Priority 

AE, the Smile Shutter function cannot be used.

• The drive mode is automatically set to [Single-shot Adv.] or [Remote Cdr.].
• The AF illuminator does not work with the Smile Shutter function.
• If the camera does not detect a smile, change the settings for Smile Detection 

Sensitivity.

• Smiles may not be detected correctly, depending on the shooting conditions.
