Using the Q Button
Intelligent Face Detection
Intelligent Face Detection sets focus and exposure for human faces anywhere in the frame, preventing the camera from focusing on the background in group portraits. Choose for shots that emphasize portrait subjects.
To use Intelligent Face Detection, highlight bFACE DETECTION in the quick menu (P35), then rotate the rear command dial until ON is displayed and press the Q button. Faces can be detected with the camera in vertical or horizontal orienta- tion; if a face is detected, it will be indicated by a green border. If there is more than one face in the frame, the camera will select the face closest to the center; other faces are indicated by white borders.
QIn some modes, the camera may set exposure for the frame as a whole rather than the portrait subject.
QIf the subject moves as the shutter button is pressed, their face may not be in the area indicated by the green border when the picture is taken.
RIntelligent face detection can also be accessed using the GAUTOFOCUS SETTING > FACE DETECTION op- tion in the shooting menu (P78).
