Notes About the Face Detection Function
• The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
• When the frame includes more than one face, the faces detected by the camera and the face on
which the camera focuses depend on a variety of factors, including the direction in which the
faces are looking.
• When shooting a subject that is not suitable for autofocus (A25), the camera may not be able to
focus properly on the subject despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this
occur, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual
portrait subject (
A60).

Viewing Images That Were Taken Using Face Detection
When playing back images that include a face detected during shooting, the images are
automatically rotated depending on the orientation of the face detected (except images captured in
a series).
