Notes
• During sequential shooting, face detection will work only
at the first shot.
• Depending on the subject, the camera may not be able
to correctly detect the face.
• This function is available only during live view.
• When using phase difference AF, the camera focuses with the AF target which is the closest
to the displayed frame.
During live view, you can take a picture focusing manually while checking the focus on the
LCD monitor.
