Face Detect Feature

zMaximum of three AF frames will be displayed at the position of the face 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, 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 grey 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.
