Face Detection
When the camera is pointed at a human face in the shooting
modes as shown below, the camera automatically detects the
face and focuses on it. When the camera detects more than
one face, the double border (focus area) is displayed around
the face that is focused on, and single borders around the
others.

When taking images of people and pets together, the camera can detect a combined total of up
to 12 human and pet faces.

If the camera detects a human face and a pet face in the same shot, it focuses on the pet’s face.
