Shooting Features
Using Face Detection
In the following shooting modes, 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.
* For more information about face detection while using subject tracking mode, see “Subject
Tracking Mode (Focusing on a Moving Subject)” (A57).
When using A (auto) mode, if you press the shutter-release button halfway
while no faces are detected or while framing a shot with no faces in it, the
camera selects the focus area (up to nine areas) containing the subject closest
to the camera.
When Scene auto selector is selected, the focus area changes depending on
which scene the camera selects.
If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in
Portrait and Night portrait scene modes or in smart portrait mode, the
camera will focus on the subject in the center of the frame.
