Nothing makes for a better picture than capturing a subject’s smile, and Samsung makes it easier than ever to take great photos of those pearly whites!
As was discussed in previous tips, Face Detection is a beneficial feature which will automatically detect faces in a photo and adjust focus and exposure to ensure the best results possible. Samsung’s Smile Shot technology goes a step further.
When it comes to taking photographs, timing is everything and knowing when to press the shutter button can make or break an image. Samsung’s Smile Shot is a feature that works in tandem with Face Detection. When Smile Shot is selected, the camera will utilize its Face Detection technology to adjust the focus and exposure for your subject, and then will automatically take a photo only when it detects that your subject is smiling. You don’t have to do anything other than aim the camera at your subject --- you don’t even have to press the shutter button!
Samsung includes its Smile Shot technology on a number of its new digital cameras, including the SL420. To activate Smile Shot on the Samsung SL420, simply turn the camera on, switch the mode dial to “AUTO,” and press the “Fn” button which will bring you to a list of camera settings you can change. Scroll down to the “Face Detection” option and look for Smile Shot, which is represented by the “?” icon.
Now all you have to do is point your camera at your subject and wait for a smile!
