looking skin tones.
• The camera automatically detects and focuses on a face
looking toward the camera (see “Shooting with Face Priority”
(A123) for more information).
• If the camera detects multiple faces, the camera focuses on the face closest to the camera.
• If no face is recognized, the camera will focus on the subject in the center of the frame.
• The Did someone blink? screen may be displayed when the Blink warning option
(A149) in the setup menu is set to On (default setting). Press the k button or the
shutter-release button to return to the shooting screen. See “Operating the Did someone
