Face-Priority
• When Face priority is selected for AF area mode, the setting will automatically switch to Auto if
no face is recognized when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
• If no face is recognized when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in Portrait or Night
portrait scene mode, the camera will focus on the subject in the center focus area.
• 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 subject is not looking directly at the camera
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the
subject is facing the camera.
• In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected ( A 25),
the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area glows green. Should this occur,
switch to A (auto) mode or change the AF area mode setting to Manual or Center in high-
sensitivity shooting, P, and M modes, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance
from the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use focus lock (
A 25).
