Taking front-on pictures of people (Face Detection)
Recognizes faces (up to 15 people) and adjusts exposure and focus accordingly.
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 ([Night Scenery] [Handheld Night Shot] [Food] [Starry Sky])
•[Creative Control] Mode ([Miniature Effect] [Soft Focus])
•[Panorama Shot] Mode
●
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).
