Note
The camera is focusing on all the AF areas when multiple AF areas (max. 5 areas) light at the
same time. If you want to determine the focus position to take pictures, switch the AF mode to
[ƒ], [Ø] or [Ù].
If the AF mode is set to [ ], the AF area is not displayed until the picture is brought into focus.
Switch the AF mode to [ƒ] or [Ø] if it is difficult to focus using [Ù].
The camera may detect the subjects other than a person as the face. In this case, switch the
AF mode to any modes other than [š] and then take a picture.
It is not possible to set [š] in the following cases.
In [NIGHT SCENERY], [ILLUMINATIONS] and [CREATIVE NIGHT SCENERY] in
[NIGHT PORTRAIT]
In [FOOD] in [CLOSE-UP]
[PANNING], [STARRY SKY], [FIREWORKS] and [AERIAL PHOTO] in scene mode
