B Notes on Face Priority
• If no face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in Portrait or Night
portrait scene mode, the camera will focus on the subject in the center focus area.
• 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 subject is not looking directly at the camera
• The face(s) detected, and that on which the camera focuses, depend on a variety of factors,
including whether or not a particular face is looking toward the camera.
• In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (A 27),
the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this
occur, switch to A (auto) mode and shoot with the touch AF/AE function (A24), or set AF area
mode to Center, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as
the actual portrait subject, and use focus lock (A125).
