The following occurs when [Face Detect] is selected.

-The camera displays up to three frames where it has detected a face. At this point, the frame the camera judges to be the main subject appears in white while the others appear in gray. Pressing the shutter button halfway displays up to 9 green AF frames.

-If no white frame displays and all the frames appear in gray, images will be shot using the [On] option rather than [Face Detect].

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

-Faces may not be detected in the following instances. Examples:

Faces near the screen edges or faces that appear extremely small, large, dark or bright in relation to the overall image.

Faces turned to the side or at a diagonal, or faces with a portion hidden.
