∫ About [š] ([Face Detection])
The following AF area frames are displayed when the camera detects the
faces.
Yellow:
When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the frame turns green when
the camera is focused.
White:
Displayed when more than one face is detected. Other faces that are the same distance away
as faces within the yellow AF areas are also focused.
Note
•
When [Metering Mode] is set to multiple [C], the camera will adjust the exposure to suit the person’s
face.
• Under certain picture-taking conditions including the following cases, the face detection function may
fail to work, making it impossible to detect faces. [AF Mode] is switched to [ ]
([Ø] while motion pictures are taken).
– When the face is not facing the camera
– When the face is at an angle
– When the face is extremely bright or dark
– When there is little contrast on the faces
– When the facial features are hidden behind sunglasses, etc.
– When the face appears small on the screen
– When there is rapid movement
– When the subject is other than a human being
– When the camera is shaking
– When Digital Zoom is used
• If the camera is registering something other than someone’s face, change the settings to something
other than [
š].
