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.
