Continuous AF
When shooting a snapshot while “On” is selected for Continuous AF, Auto Focus is
performed and focusing is continually updated until you half-press the shutter button.
• Before you half-press the shutter button, the camera focuses at the center of the
screen. If “Face Detection” is turned on when you half-press the shutter button,
focusing is performed in the area where a face is detected.
• Shooting with Continuous AF can cause vibration and noise to occur due to lens
operation. This does not indicate malfunction.

Face Detection
When shooting people, the face detection feature detects the faces of up to ten
individuals and adjusts focus and brightness accordingly.
1. Use [8] and [2] to select “On” and then press [SET].
2. Point the camera at the subject(s).
The camera will detect human faces and display a
frame around each one.
3. Half-press the shutter button.
The camera will focus and the frames around the
faces it focuses on will turn green.
4. Press the shutter button the rest of the way down.
Tips for Best Face Detection Results
• The camera performs center focus if it cannot detect a face.
• Always make sure that Auto Focus (AF) is selected as the focus mode when
shooting with face detection.
• Detection of the following types of faces is not supported.
– A face that is obstructed by hair, sunglasses, a hat, etc., or a face in dark shade
– A profile or a face that is at an angle
– A face that is very far away and small, or very close and large
– A face in an area that is very dark
