∫ About face detection
This function detects a person’s face in the
image area so that the focus can be
adjusted properly. This is particularly
effective in preventing errors such as when
the focus is on the background when taking
a commemorative photograph.
•When the camera detects a person’s face,
the following color AF area is displayed.
Yellow:
When the shutter button is pressed
halfway, the frame turns green when the
camera is focused.
White:
Displayed when more than one face is
detected. Other faces that are the same
distance away as faces within the yellow
AF areas are also focused.
•Up to 15 AF areas are displayed.
•Under certain picture-taking conditions
including the following cases, the facial
recognition function may fail to work,
making it impossible to detect faces.
[AF MODE] is switched to [ ].
–When the face is not facing the camera
–When the face is at an angle
–When the face is extremely bright or
dark

behind sunglasses, etc.

screen
