cated by double yellow border. *
* If camera detects multiple faces, closest subject will be indicated by double border, other

no longer be displayed and icon will blink in monitor.
Face-Priority AF
The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether
or not the subject is facing the camera. The camera may be unable to detect faces that
are hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions or that take up too much or too little of
the frame. If no face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the
camera will focus on the center of the frame.
The camera will focus continuously until a face detected. If the double border fl ashes
yellow when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera is unable to focus;
release the button and try again.
