Face detection
When you use the Face Detection AF function, you can set the focus around a person's face when taking a portrait shot. This function can also be useful when shooting a self-portrait.
•Face detection may not be effective when:
-The subject is too far away
-The light is too bright or dark
-The subject is not facing the camera
-When part of the face is hidden by an object like sunglasses
-Part of the subject's face is hidden by sunglasses or similar objects
-The subject makes a large facial expression
-The light or backlight on the subject's face is not uniform
•Depending on the Picture Wizard option, the camera may not recognize the subject’s face
•The options available may differ depending on the shooting mode.
•This function is not available if you have selected such options as Manual Focus and Selection AF.
•The face detection function works faster when the camera is closer to the subject.
•When you use the Face Detection AF option, the white focus area is automatically set to focus.
