Using AF to Focus
2Focus the subject.
Press the shutter button halfway and
the camera will focus the face
covered by the <p> frame.
XWhen focus is achieved, the AF point
will turn green and the beeper will
sound.
XIf focus is not achieved, the AF point
will turn orange.
If a face cannot be detected, the AF
point < > will be displayed and AF
will be executed at the center.
3Take the picture.
Check the focus and exposure, then
press the shutter button completely to
take the picture (p.127).
If the focus is way off, face detection will not be possible. If the lens
enables manual focusing even while the lens focus mode switch is set to
<f>, turn the focusing ring to attain rough focus. The face will then be
detected and <p> will be displayed.
An object other than a human face might be detected as a face.
Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the
picture, too bright or too dark, titled horizontally or diagonally, or partially
hidden.
The <p> focusing frame might cover only part of the face.
