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 is detected.
If the double border flashes yellow when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway,
the camera is unable to focus; release the button and try again.
Landscape Assist
Use for vivid landscapes or portraits that fea-
ture a landmark in the background. Pictures
taken at slow shutter speeds are processed to
reduce noise (

* Focus indicator ( 15) is always displayed in green when shutter-release button is
pressed halfway; note, however, that foreground objects may not always be in
focus.
