1 If the camera detects a face, a frame will be
displayed in that location.
• When you press the shutter button, the camera will focus
on the position of the face detection frame (however, if a
single AF target is selected with
[AF AREA] , the camera
will focus on the AF target selected).
• With [AF SENSOR] or [HYBRID AF] , the camera will
focus on the AF target that is closest to the face detection
frame.
x Notes
• During sequential shooting, face detection will work only at the first shot.
• Depending on the subject, the camera may not be able to correctly detect the face.
During live view, you can take a picture focusing manually while checking the focus on the LCD
monitor.
