Using Face Detection
In the following settings, the camera uses face
detection to automatically focus on human faces.
• Scene auto selector, Portrait, or Night portrait
scene mode (A33)
• a (smile timer) (A60)
• When AF area mode (A140) is set to Face
priority
If the camera detects more than one face, a double
border is displayed around the face that the camera focuses on, and single borders
are displayed around the other faces.
If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway when no faces are detected:
• When Scene auto selector is selected, the focus area changes depending on the
shooting conditions that the camera recognizes.
• In Portrait and Night portrait, the camera focuses on the area in the center of
the frame.
• When AF area mode is set to Face priority, the camera selects the focus area
containing the subject closest to the camera.
• When a (smile timer) is selected in A (auto), j, k, l, m,or M mode, the camera
automatically selects one or more of the nine focus areas containing the subject
closest to the camera.
B Notes About Face Detection
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction
in which the faces are looking.
• The camera cannot detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
