Taking Pictures
When the camera detects a person’s face
in the image, the Face Detection function
displays a yellow frame (Face detection
frame) around the face on the display
screen, 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 frames over
the other face(s). It can display up to a
total of 31 frames (up to 30 frames in Half-
length Portrait mode), including a main
frame and white frame(s).
By default, the Face Detection function is set to Face Detection On. You
can switch to the Smile Capture function, which automatically releases
the shutter when your subject smiles. The Face Detection function is
switched as follows each time the I button is pressed:
Smile Capture ´ Face Detection Off ´ Face Detection On
Using the Face Detection Function
• Face Detection AF and AE may not work if the subject is wearing
sunglasses, has part of their face covered or is not looking toward the
camera.
• If the camera cannot detect the subject’s face, the camera focuses
using the setting currently selected in [Focusing Area].
• When the Smile Capture function is activated, the shutter may not be
released automatically because the Smile Capture function may not
work in some situations, such as when the detected face is too small.
•In C (Pet) mode, the Face Detection mode is switched to pet
detection and the camera detects a registered pet’s face.
