Face Detect

•Detects people’s faces and sets the focus, exposure (evaluative metering only) and white balance ( only).

•When the camera is pointed at subjects, a white frame appears on the face the camera judges to be the main subject, and gray frames (max. 2) will appear on other faces.

•A frame will follow a moving subject within a certain range.

•When the shutter button is pressed halfway, up to 9 green frames will appear on faces that the camera focuses on.

• If a face is not detected or only gray frames (no white frame) appear, an AF frame will appear in the center of the screen when you press the shutter button halfway.

•If a face is not detected when Servo AF (p. 97) is set to [On], the AF frame will appear in the center of the screen when you press the shutter button halfway.

•Examples of faces that cannot be detected:

-Subjects that are far away or extremely close

-Subjects that are dark or light

-Faces turned to the side or at an angle, or faces with a portion hidden

•The camera may mistakenly identify non-human subjects as a face.

•If the camera cannot focus when you press the shutter button halfway, the AF frame will not appear.
