In the face detection & AE mode, detected faces

button is pressed halfway.
In the following case, faces may not be
detected in some recording conditions.

Since the brightness of the entire image is
adjusted to record faces more vividly,
brightness may change suddenly or images
may flicker under some recording conditions.
