Face Detect
Recognizes people's faces and focuses, adjusts exposure (evaluative
metering only) and white balance ( only) for shooting.
When the camera is pointed at subjects, a white frame appears on the
face the camera judges to be the main subject, and gray frames (max. 2)
will appear on other faces. When the shutter button is pressed halfway, up
to 9 green frames will appear on faces the camera focuses on.
Changing the AF Frame
If a face is not detected and only gray frames (no white frame) appear,
the setting will change to [AiAF].
Examples of faces that cannot be detected:
The camera may mistakenly identify non-human subjects as a face.
Not available when the screen is turned off (p. 45).
If the camera cannot focus when you press the shutter button halfway,
the AF frame will not appear.
Subjects that are far away or extremely close.
Subjects that are dark or light.
Faces turned to the side or at a diagonal, or faces with a portion hidden.
