Notes on Face Priority
• If the camera is unable to recognize any faces when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway
with
AF area mode set to Face priority, the AF area mode setting automatically switches to
Auto.
• If no faces are recognized when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in
Portrait or Night
portrait scene mode or smart portrait mode, the camera will focus on the subject at the center of
the frame.
• The camera may be unable to recognize 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
• When the frame includes more than one face, the faces recognized by the camera and the face on
which the camera focuses depend upon a variety of factors, including the direction in which the
faces are looking.
• In some rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows
green ( A 27). Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode and set AF area mode to Manual or
Center, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual
portrait subject, and use focus lock (
A 107).
• When pictures in which a face was detected during shooting are played back, the pictures will be,
automatically rotated for playback display, according to the orientation of the face detected
except pictures that were taken using
Continuous, BSS and Multi-shot 16 (A 103).
