AF area
Yellow: When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the frame turns
green when the camera is focused.
White: Displayed when more than one face is detected. Other faces that
are the same distance away as faces within the yellow AF area
are also focused.
●
Cannot set to (Face Detection) in the following cases:
•Scene Modes ([Panorama Shot] [Night Scenery] [Handheld Night Shot] [Food])
•[Creative Control] Mode ([Soft Focus] [Miniature Effect])
●
If the camera misinterprets a non-human subject as a face in (Face Detection)
setting, switch to another setting.
●
If conditions prevent the face from being recognized, such as when the movement of
the subject is too rapid, the [AF Mode] setting switches to (23-area-focusing).
