Shooting with Face Priority

The face-priority function is activated when Face priority is selected for AF area
mode
(

A 90), when shooting in Portrait (A 36) or Night portrait (A 37) scene

mode, when shooting in scene auto selector mode (

A 45), or when shooting in

smile mode (

A 49).

The camera automatically detects and focuses on a face looking toward the
camera.

Frame a picture.

When the camera detects a face looking toward the
camera, that face will be framed by a yellow double
border.

When the camera detects more than one face, operation varies, depending upon the
shooting mode, as follows.

Press the shutter-release button halfway.

The camera focuses on the face framed by the double
border. The double border will glow green and focus will
be locked.

will blink. Press the shutter-release button halfway again
and focus.

Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down
to take the picture.
