Reference Section

Using Face Detection

In the following settings, the camera uses face

detection to automatically focus on human

faces.

• s (night portrait), Scene auto selector or

Portrait scene mode (A27)

• a (smile timer) (A39)

• When AF area mode (A52) is set to Face

priority

If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is displayed around

the face that the camera focuses on, and single borders are displayed around

the other faces.

If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway when no faces are detected:

• When Scene auto selector is selected, the focus area changes depending

on the scene.

• In s (night portrait) and Portrait, the camera focuses on the area in the

center of the frame.

• When a (smile timer) is selected, the camera focuses on the subject in the

center of the frame.

• When AF area mode is set to Face priority, the camera selects the focus

area containing the subject closest to the camera.

B Notes About Face Detection

• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the

direction in which the faces are looking.

• The camera cannot detect faces in the following situations:

- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed

- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame

C Viewing Images Captured Using Face Detection

During playback, the camera automatically rotates images according to the

orientation of the faces that were detected at the time of shooting (except for

images captured using Continuous (A52) or Exposure bracketing (A52)).
