on the position of the face detection frame (however, if a

will focus on the AF target selected).

focus on the AF target that is closest to the face
detection frame.

• During sequential shooting, face detection will work only at the first shot.

Notes

• RAW images are not trimmed and are recorded with the aspect ratio information at the time of

shooting.

• During RAW image playback, images are displayed with a border based on the aspect ratio.
