This function can detect up to 10 persons.
When the camera recognizes many people at the same time,
it will focus on the nearest person.

When the camera detects a target face, the white color focus
frame will be displayed over the target face and the grey
color focus frame appears over the remaining faces.
Press the shutter button halfway down to focus on the face
and the white focus frame turns green.
Return to previous AF mode if face detection was failure.
In some conditions this function cannot work properly.
- When a person wears dark glasses or some part of the face
is hidden.
- When the person being taken does not look at the camera.
- Camera doesn't detect a face as the brightness is too dark
or too bright.
- The distance between the camera and object is far.
The maximum available Face Detection range is 2.5m (Wide).

the subject.

[Face Detection] function setting is set to its default value.

1. For self-filming, set the camera lens
towards the face of the object. It
automatically detects the face of the
object, and emits a guiding sound.
2. Start filming by pressing the shutter
button.
When locating the face in the center of the screen, it
repeatedly emits a faster sound unlike the sounds that are
emitted when the face is not in the center.
