Using face detection
If you use Face Detection options, your camera can automatically detect a human face. When you focus on a human face, the camera
adjusts the exposure automatically. Take photos quickly and easily by using Blink Detection to detect closed eyes or Smile Shot to
capture a smiling face. You can also use Smart Face Recognition to register faces and prioritize the focus on them.
Detecting faces
Your camera automatically detects human faces (up to 10 faces
in one scene).
The nearest face appears in
a white focus frame and the
rest of the faces appear in
gray focus frames.
