Shooting Features
Focusing on Subject
The focus area or focus range for adjusting focus varies depending on the
shooting mode.
• In auto mode, focus area can be set by selecting AF area mode (A58) in the
shooting menu.
Using Face Detection
In the following settings, the camera uses face
detection to automatically focus on human faces.
If the camera detects more than one face, a double
border is displayed around the face that the camera
will focus on, and single borders are displayed around
the other faces.
*If Pet portrait auto release is switched to OFF when Pet portrait is selected, the camera
will detect human faces (A41).
• When G (easy auto) mode is selected, the focus area changes depending on which scene the
camera automatically selects.
• When using Face priority, if the shutter-release button is pressed halfway while no faces are
detected or while framing a shot with no faces in it, the camera automatically selects the focus
areas (up to 9) that contain the subject closest to the camera.
• If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in Portrait or Night
portrait scene mode or smart portrait mode, the camera will focus on the subject at the center of
the frame.
