Taking Pictures
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 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 size as it tracks the face.
The Face Detection function can
recognize up to 32 people’s faces. If it
recognizes multiple faces, the camera
displays a yellow frame over the main face
and white frames over the other faces. It
can display up to a total of 31 frames,
including both the main and white frames.
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].
• However, the Smile Capture function may not work and an image may
not be captured, even when turned on, depending on the condition of
the recognized faces, such as the faces being too small. If this
happens, press the shutter release button to take a picture.
•In C (Pet) mode, the Face Detection mode is switched to pet
detection and the camera detects a registered pet’s face.
