The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.
Using Face Detection
In the following shooting modes, the camera uses face
detection to automatically focus on human faces.
• Portrait or Night portrait in G (easy auto) mode (E3)
• Portrait or Night portrait in scene mode (E4)
• Smart portrait mode (E8)
If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is
displayed around the face that the camera focuses on, and
single borders are displayed around the other faces.
If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera
focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.

Notes About Face Detection
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction in
which the faces are looking.
• The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
