8 seconds. Take care not to move the camera while taking pictures.

Face detection

When [ ] or [ ] is selected, the camera automatically detects a person’s face, and it will adjust the focus and exposure.

Note

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 of the subject, The distance to the subject, The contrast of the subject, When the subject is moving, When zoom is used

Recording conditions: Sunset, Sunrise, Under low brightness conditions, When the camera is shaken

To take pictures in an intended scene, it is recommended that you take pictures in the appropriate Recording mode.

The Backlight Compensation

Backlight refers to when light comes from the back of a subject.

In this case, the subject will become dark, so this function compensates the backlight by brightening the whole of the picture automatically.
