The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.

Using Face Detection

In the following shooting modes, the camera uses face
detection to automatically focus on human faces.
• Portrait or Night portrait in x (scene auto selector)

mode (

E3)

• Portrait or Night portrait in scene mode (E4)

Smart portrait mode (E8)

If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is
displayed around the face that the camera focuses on, and single borders are displayed
around the other faces.

If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera
focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.

Notes About Face Detection

The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction in

which the faces are looking.

The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:

- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed

- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
