Press Release: Fotonation Demonstrates “Smilecheck™” Technology For Digital Cameras

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:46:07 -0500

Just got forwarded this press release (I get tons of them on a daily basis - I'm only 1 man, so I only pass along the interesting ones) and thought it was worth mentioning and might generate some discussion. "SmileCheck" enables a new type of picture taking mode called “Smile Shutter” in digital cameras. Once the camera’s trigger button is depressed, the shutter is not engaged until smiles are detected on all faces within the frame, ensuring photos with all smiles. Read the full press release below, and then I'd love to hear your thoughts on this technology advancement - think of it - is this a dream come true for portrait photographers, or what??!

It’s been a long time coming, but I’m finally to the point where I can start catching up on photography industry news. Some of this news dates back over 2 months, but better late than never, eh?
