Taking Pictures
With this camera, the Face Detection function is
available with all shooting modes.
When the camera detects a person’s face in the
image, the Face Detection function displays a
yellow face detection frame around the face on
the screen display, sets the focus (Face
Detection AF) and compensates the exposure
(Face Detection AE).
If the subject in the face detection frame moves,
the frame also moves and changes its own size
as it tracks the face.
The Face Detection function can detect up to 32
people’s faces. If it detects multiple faces, the
camera displays a yellow frame over the main
face and white frame(s) over the other face(s). It
can display up to a total of 31 frames including a
main frame and white frame(s).
The default setting is [On]. You can switch to the
Smile Capture function that automatically
releases the shutter when the subject smiles.
Refer to “Setting the Face Detection Function”
(p.107) for details.
In 9 (Green) mode, you can enjoy easy picture-taking using standard
settings, regardless of the settings in the [A Rec. Mode] menu.
The 9 (Green) mode settings are as shown below.
