Face Detection
Shooting Features
B Notes on the Face Detection Function
The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
When the frame includes more than one face, the faces detected by the camera and the face on
which the camera focuses depend upon a variety of factors, including the direction in which the
faces are looking.
When shooting a subject that is not suitable for autofocus (A 29), the camera may not be able to
focus properly on the subject despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this
occur, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual
portrait subject (A 39).
C Viewing Pictures That Were Taken Using Face Detection
If you enlarge a picture by tapping O or tapping the face detected at the time of shooting twice
quickly in full-frame playback mode, the picture is enlarged so that the detected face is displayed in
the center of the monitor (except pictures taken in sequence).
If the camera detected multiple faces when the picture was taken, you can tap M or N to display a
different face. Once you change the zoom ratio, you will be able to zoom in on an area of the picture
where there are no faces.
