Testing a theory.

Intro:
The newer cameras have better technology that can do things such as face recognition...
A function on my camera that I could rarely get to work is the smile function.

Technically the smile function does this:
- press shutter as if taking real photo to put it in "smile mode"
- face recognition kicks in
- camera detects face... NEED TO TAKE PICTURE
- camera tells shutter to release.
- picture taken.
no extra button pressing is necessary as long as someone is smiling..

Theory:
Boy had a theory that the smile function will get off whenever something white is around the mouth...

Method:
Cutting out paper mouths with a black marker.
Stick them on mouth.
See if camera captures the image.

Result:

[painting smiling ... the camera detected the fake smile and took the photo]

Conclusion:
Sony aint as smart as it can be.
A painting can't change and smile LOL
