Intelligent Face Detection
Intelligent Face Detection
Intelligent Face Detection sets focus and exposure for human faces anywhere
in the frame, preventing the camera from focusing on the background in
group portraits. Choose for shots that emphasize portrait subjects.
To use Intelligent Face Detection, tap MENU to display
the shooting menu and select ON for b FACE DETEC-
TION (
P 85). Faces can be detected with the camera in
vertical or horizontal orientation; 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.
Q In some modes, the camera may set exposure for the frame
as a whole rather than the portrait subject.
Q If the subject moves as the shutter button is pressed, their
face may not be in the area indicated by the green border
when the picture is taken.
