Using AF to Focus (AF Method)
If the subject’s face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be possible. You can prevent this by setting [Continuous AF] to [Enable]. An object other than a human face may 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, or partially hidden.
The <p> may cover only part of the face.
You can press <0> or the <L> button to display the AF point <
> at the center and use <9> to move the AF point.
Since AF is not possible with a face detected near the edge of the picture, the <p> will be grayed out. If you press the shutter button halfway, the subject will be focused in FlexiZone - Multi method with automatic selection.
