Question: Do any cameras insert smiles on faces when you take shots at Forced Family Fun events?
Don’t despair if you find yourself at family functions and can’t muster the energy to force a smile. The Stepford Wives were not created in a day!
Until you learn the politics of genuine artifice, take your cues from good ole Charlie Brown and focus on the righteous principles of your anti-social behavior. Then- try a smirk first, as you work your way up to a grin.
Once your smile is trained, consider the Sony Cybershot DSC-W120 for its Smile Shutter Mode. The camera's sensors are trained somewhere between Mona Lisa's smile and a Joker’s guffaw. That being the case, you can get stuck with some expressions that are not what I would call a smile, but in many cases may be the best you can expect from a family that doesn’t really want to be there. Good luck!
