G (Easy Auto) Mode
Automatic Scene Selection
The camera automatically selects one of the following scenes when pointing the
camera at a subject.
Focusing in Easy Auto Mode
When G or i is displayed, the camera
automatically selects one or more of the nine
focus areas containing the subject closest to
the camera.
Press the shutter-release button halfway to
activate the focus area. When the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway, the focus
area (up to nine areas) selected by the camera will be displayed in the monitor.
Face Detection
When the camera is pointed at a human face, face detection, with which the
camera automatically detects that face and focus on it, starts. The face detection
function is activated in the following situations.
• In G (easy auto) (A 24) mode
• In A (auto) (A 51) mode
• In Portrait (A 64) and Night portrait (A 65) scene modes
• In smart portrait mode (A 72)
B Notes on Face Detection
• The camera may be unable to recognize 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.
• In some cases, including those noted in “Autofocus” (A 29), autofocus may not perform as
expected, and the subject may not be in focus 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 46).
