When a face looking toward the camera is recognized,
the camera will focus on the face surrounded by a double
border by default.
When taking pictures of subjects other than people, or framing a subject with which no
face is recognized, the camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine)
containing the subject closest to the camera.
See AF area mode (A 86) and “Shooting with Face-Priority” (A 87) for more
information about face priority.
B Notes on Slow Shutter Speed
• At shutter speeds slower than 1/4 s, noise reduction is automatically performed, except when
Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 is selected for Continuous, increasing the time required to
save pictures.
• When shooting poorly-lit subjects with Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 selected, slower
shutter speeds may not be available.
