# Cautions
Face priority applies only to the rst shot in each sequence taken during sequential
shooting.
Depending on the subject, the camera may not be able to correctly detect the face.
In metering modes other than [p (Digital ESP metering)], the camera will meter exposure
for the selected position.
$ Notes
Face priority is also available in [MF]. Faces detected by the camera are indicated by
white frames.
