Auto zooming continues even after you

shoot, and the frames are still displayed.

To cancel auto zooming, press the [ ]

button again. [ Auto: Off] is displayed.

A face may not be displayed at a constant size relative to the
screen at some zoom factors, or if the person’s head is tilted or
facing the camera indirectly.

During movie recording, a changed zoom factor and camera
operating sounds are recorded.

When

Auto is on, some shooting information is not displayed,

and some shooting settings cannot be configured.

Auto zooming to keep multiple subjects on the screen is not
performed during movie recording, even if faces are detected.

You can zoom in or out with the zoom lever, but the original zoom
factor will be restored in a few seconds after you release the
lever.

Auto zooming is not performed during continuous shooting.

If multiple faces are detected in step 2, you can change the
face used as the main subject by touching the face or pressing
the [

] button. However, the [

] button cannot be used for

selection during movie recording.

When a detected subject moves toward the edge of the screen,
the camera zooms out to keep the subject on the screen.

The zoom factor cannot be changed after you press the shutter
button all the way down in self-timer mode (= 45).

The camera prioritizes zooming to keep subjects on the screen.
For this reason, it may not be possible to maintain a constant
face display size, depending on subject movement and shooting
conditions.

When no face is detected, the camera zooms to a certain level
and stops zooming until a face is detected.

If you prefer to shoot at the zoom factor of the screen in step 1,
press the shutter button all the way down.

You can adjust the zoom factor that the camera reverts to when
you release the [

] button by moving the zoom lever to resize

the white frame while you hold the [

] button.

To adjust the area displayed when the [

] button is pressed,

access MENU (= 31) ► [

7] tab ► [

Display Area], and

choose one of the three options.

The zoom factor cannot be changed with the [

] button after

you press the shutter button all the way down in self-timer mode
(= 45).

around other faces, as the camera zooms

to keep these subjects on the screen.
