Face Detection
Recognizes faces (up to 15 people) and adjusts exposure and focus accordingly.
AF area
Yellow: When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the frame turns
green when the camera is focused.
White: Displayed when more than one face is detected. Other faces that
are the same distance away as faces within the yellow AF area
are also focused.
(Face Detection) is not available in the following cases:
• With the Scene Modes ([Panorama Shot] [Night Scenery] [Handheld Night Shot]
[Food])
• [Creative Control] Mode ([Soft Focus] [Miniature Effect])
If the camera misinterprets a non-human subject as a face, switch to another setting.
If conditions prevent the face from being recognized, such as when the movement of
the subject is too rapid, the [AF Mode] setting switches to (23-area-focusing).
