Changing the Focusing Method

If the focus is far off, face detection will not be possible. If you set

[Continuous AF] to [Enable], you can prevent the image from becoming greatly out of focus.

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.

When you press the <XL> button, the < > AF point will appear at the center of the screen. Drag it to move the AF point. Press the <XL> button again, and the AF point will move to the detected subject.

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.
