Focusing Difficulty (when the AiAF is [On])

zThe following occurs when [Face Detect] is selected.

-Maximum 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.

-If no white frame displays and all the frames appear in gray, the camera will use [On] instead of [Face Detect] when shooting.

-The camera may mistakenly identify non-human subjects as a face. If this occurs, switch to the [On] or [Off] options.

-In 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.
