Smile shutter camera from Sony
For the first time in digital still camera history, you can capture joyous moments that used to get away! Whenever Face Detection finds a face, the unique new Smile Shutter mode spots a smile. Simply activate Smile Shutter, and the camera takes a picture — automatically!
Using face-detection technology, the 8-megapixel, DSC-T70 and DSC-T200 Cyber-shot cameras won’t snap a high-definition picture until a selected subject smiles. Using Sony’s proprietary algorithm, this innovative intelligent auto shutter system responds actively to smiling faces. To start, just choose Smile Shutter from Scene Selection, then press the shutter fully on the subject to be taken; the camera automatically detects the smiling face and closes the shutter. To detect the different degrees of smiles by your subject, you can set Smile Level sensitivity to “high” (to detect a faint smile), “medium” (for a normal smile), or “low” (for a hearty laugh). If there are several subjects in the frame, you can use the Touch Screen to specify the smiling face you want to take as the main subject — or let the Smile Shutter choose the main subject and take the picture. Moreover, the Smile Shutter is great for taking horizontal as well as vertical pictures — including group pictures
where everybody is smiling, and self-portrait shots that automatically catch spontaneous smiles at the right moment. Think of the countless smiles you never want to miss — a child’s innocent grin, joyful faces of family and friends, your own happy face in travel photos — and use Smile Shutter to turn good times and good feelings into treasured shots. Time after time, you’ll smile at the results!
The so-called “Say Cheese” technology has three setting levels, from a slight grin to a belly laugh. “Smile check” software was developed by Japan’s Omron Corp and it brings decision with analyzing happiness and facial features like mouth and eye wrinkles or lip separation.
