Constantly Displaying Faces at the Same Size
When a person’s face is detected, the camera will try to maintain a constant
face size relative to the screen. If the person moves closer, the camera will
automatically zoom out, and vice versa.
Enter Auto mode.
Aim the camera at the person’s face.
Press and release the <
> button
quickly.
After [ Auto: On] is displayed, a frame
[
] is displayed around the face detected
as the main subject, which the camera will
continue to display at the same size.
To adjust the face size relative to the
screen, move the zoom lever. The
camera will track the subject’s face at the
new size.
To cancel constant face size display,
press the <
> button again. [ Auto:
Off] is displayed.
• Faces may not be displayed at a constant size if the subject’s head
is tilted or facing the camera indirectly.
• Similarly, it may not be possible to maintain a constant face display
size at some zoom factors.
• This feature is not activated even if you press the < > button when
you have disabled [ Auto] (by pressing the <n> button and
choosing [4] tab > [
Auto] > [Off] (=
23)).
• In Auto mode, some shooting information is not displayed, and
some shooting settings cannot be congured.
• During movie recording, camera operating sounds such as zooming
will be recorded.
• To shoot continuously, access [W]. Note that continuous shooting is
not available if you choose [ ].
• If the person moves toward the edge of the screen, the camera will zoom out
automatically to keep the person in view.
• You can switch from tracking one face to another when several faces are
detected by pressing the <b> button. [
] is displayed around the new
subject. However, switching the [
] frame with the <b> button is not possible
during movie recording.
• The zoom factor will remain the same after you press the shutter button all the
way down in self-timer mode (=
34), even if the relative face size changes.
• [AF Frame] is set to [Face AiAF] and cannot be changed.
