Face Detect Feature
zMaximum of three AF frames will be displayed at the positions of
faces the camera recognizes. At this point, the frame the camera
judges to be the main subject appears in white while the others
appear in gray. When the shutter button is pressed halfway and
the camera focuses, up to 9 green AF frames may appear.
zThe camera will shoot using [AiAF] not the [Face Detect] function if
a white frame fails to appear and only gray frames display, or if a
face is not detected.
zThe camera may mistakenly identify non-human subjects as a
face.
zIn certain cases, faces may not be detected.
Examples:
- If faces are at the edge of the screen, or appear extremely small,
large, dark or bright, relative to the overall composition.
- Faces turned to the side or at a diagonal, or faces with a portion
hidden.
