Adjusting the focus and brightness (exposure)
Taking pictures with Auto Focus
Taking front-on pictures of people (Face/Eye Detection)
The camera automatically detects the faces and eyes of subjects. The camera adjusts
the focus on the eye that is closer to the camera and the exposure using the face (when
[Metering Mode] is set to [ ] (Multiple)).
• The camera can detect up to 15 faces. The camera can detect only the eyes of faces to
be focused on.
When the camera recognises a face, the AF area and eye
used for focusing are displayed.
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 area are also focused.
