∫ Auto Focus, Face/Eye Detection, and Face Recognition
The Auto Focus Mode is automatically set to [š]. If you touch the subject, the AF tracking
function will work. The AF tracking function will also work if you press 2 and then press
the shutter button halfway.
(About tracking AF, refer to P154 for details.)
•
When [ ], [ ], or [ ] is set, an eye closer to the camera will be in focus,
while the exposure will be optimized for the face.
In Intelligent Auto Plus Mode or Intelligent Auto Mode, you cannot change
the eye in focus. ([Face/Eye Detection])
• During AF Tracking, Scene Detection does not work until the subject is
locked.
• When [Face Recog.] is set to [ON], and the face similar to the registered face is detected, [R] is
displayed in the top right of [ ], [ ] and [ ].
∫ About the flash
Flash mode is set to [Œ] when the flash is closed, and [ ] (AUTO) when it is open.
When the flash is open, the camera automatically sets [ ], [ ] (AUTO/Red-Eye
Reduction), [ ] or [ ] to match the type of subject and brightness.
•
Open the flash when the flash is to be used. (P230)
• When [ ] or [ ] is set, Red-Eye Removal is enabled.
• Shutter speed will be slower during [ ] or [ ].
∫ Scene Detection
•
If a tripod is used, for instance, and the camera has judged that camera shake is minimal when
the scene detection has been identified as [ ], the shutter speed will be slower than normal.
Take care not to move the camera while taking pictures.
• Due to conditions such as the ones below, a different scene may be identified for the same
subject.
– Subject conditions: When the face is bright or dark, the size, color and shape of the subject,
the distance to the subject, the contrast of the subject, when the subject is moving
– Recording conditions: Sunset, sunrise, under low brightness conditions, when the camera
is shaken, when zoom is used
The Backlight Compensation
•
When there is a backlight, the subject appears darker and the camera will automatically
attempt to correct it by increasing the brightness of the picture.
In Intelligent Auto Plus Mode or Intelligent Auto Mode, backlight compensation works
automatically.
