B Intelligent Face Detection
Intelligent Face Detection allows the camera to automatically detect human faces and set focus and
exposure for a face anywhere in the frame for shots that emphasize portrait subjects. Choose for
group portraits (in vertical or horizontal orientations) to prevent the camera from focusing on the
background. Intelligent Face Detection also offers a red-eye removal option for removing “red-eye”
effects caused by the flash.
1
Turn Intelligent Face Detection on.
Press the B button to turn Intelligent Face
Detection on. The selection changes each
time the B button is pressed.
A Note
When removing red-eye effect, select ON for
a RED EYE REMOVAL in the setup menu (pg.
87).
2
Frame the picture.
If a face is detected, it will
be indicated by a green
border. If there is more
than one face in the
frame, the camera will
select the face closest
to the center; other faces are indicated by
white borders.
3
Focus.
Press the shutter button halfway
to focus on the subject in the
green border. Note that, in some
shooting modes, exposure is
adjusted for the current shooting mode
and may not be optimized for the selected
subject.
