Using the Camera
CAUTION
• If the camera or subject move as the picture is taken,
the subject’s face may move out of the Intelligent Face
Detection frame.
• When the camera is detecting multiple faces, the green
frame is set around the face near the center. If you want
to focus on another subject, move the camera so that
the new subject is in the center of the screen.
If focus is still not achieved, press (Intelligent Face
Detection) to turn off the function, and take the picture
using AF/AE lock (➝p.34).
Intelligent Face Detection can focus on a face in a white
frame providing the subjects in the green and white
frame are of the same focal length.
• Pressing the shutter button halfway with Intelligent Face
Detection off, the focus will be on the center of the
frame.
Taking pictures with the focus and exposure locked
In the above composition, the subjects (two people in this
case) are not in the AF frame. Pressing the shutter button
halfway at this point will result in the subjects being out of
focus.

AF/AE lock is useful:

Use AF/AE lock to guarantee best result when shooting a
subject that is not suited to autofocusing (➝p.35).
CAUTION
When taking a picture in AF/AE lock, cancel
Intelligent Face Detection.
