Canon PowerShot SX260 HS User Manual

Shooting Range and Focusing
129
• Detects people’s faces, and then sets the focus, exposure (evaluative
metering only), and white balance ( only).
• After you aim the camera at the subject, a white frame is displayed around
the person’s face determined by the camera to be the main subject, and up
to two gray frames are displayed around other detected faces.
• When the camera detects movement, frames will follow moving subjects,
within a certain range.
• After you press the shutter button halfway, up to nine green frames are
displayed around faces in focus.
Face Detect
• If faces are not detected, or when only gray frames are displayed
(without a white frame), an AF frame is displayed in the center of the
screen when you press the shutter button halfway.
• If faces are not detected when Servo AF (p. 131) is set to [On], the
AF frame is displayed in the center of the screen when you press the
shutter button halfway.
• Examples of faces that cannot be detected:
- Subjects that are distant or extremely close
- Subjects that are dark or light
- Faces in profile, at an angle, or partly hidden
• The camera may misinterpret non-human subjects as faces.
• No AF frames are displayed if the camera cannot focus when you
press the shutter button halfway.
