effect, focus will be on the center of the screen regardless of the settings used.

When the camera recognizes a face looking toward

than one face is recognized, focus will be on the face
closest to the camera.

recognized, AF area mode will switch to Auto, and
the camera will automatically select the focus area
(one of nine) containing the subject closest to the
camera.
