Selects whether to use the Face Detect function or not.

When [Face Detection] is set to [On]:

– You cannot use the AF illuminator.
– You cannot use the digital zoom.

Available only for [Soft Snap], the default setting is [On].

Up to 8 faces of your subjects can be detected. However, only up to 2 faces of your subjects
can be detected when you shoot images with [Soft Snap].

When the camera detects more than one subject, the camera will judge which is the main
subject and set focus by priority.

The frame for which the focus is set will turn green by pressing the shutter button halfway
down. All the subjects at equal distance to the focused one are also focused, even if the
frames do not turn green.

Face Detection may fail, depending on the conditions.
