will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 22) is

the self-timer menu and then press the shutter but-
ton all the way down to start the timer. The camera
will detect faces while the timer is counting down
and adjust focus and exposure immediately before
the shutter is released. Be careful not to move until
the picture has been recorded.
