If the camera detects a face, a frame will be
displayed in that location.
• When you press the shutter button, the camera will focus
on the position of the face detection frame (however, if a
single AF target is selected with [AF AREA], the camera
will focus on the AF target selected).
• With [AF SENSOR] or [HYBRID AF], the camera will
focus on the AF target that is closest to the face
detection frame.

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