Frame picture using m icon as guide.
When camera detects face, m will change
to double yellow border. If camera detects
multiple faces, it will focus on closest sub-
ject; other subjects are indicated by single
border. If camera can no longer detect
subject (for example, because subject has
looked away from camera), borders will no
longer be displayed; recompose picture.

A Face-Priority AF
The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or
not the subject is facing the camera. The camera may be unable to detect faces that are
hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions or that occupy too much or too little of the
frame. If no face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the cam-
era will focus on the subject in the center of the frame.
The camera will focus continuously until a face is detected. If the double border flashes yel-
low when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera is unable to focus; re-
lease the button and try again.
