bFACE DETECTION
If ON is selected, the camera automatically detects human faces anywhere in the frame and sets focus and exposure for shots that emphasize portrait subjects. Choose to prevent the camera from focusing on the background when taking group portraits in vertical or horizontal orientation.
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 indicat-
ed by white borders (some time may be required if the number of faces is very large). If no face is detected, the camera will focus on the subject at the center of the display.
cCaution
In some modes, the camera may set exposure for the frame as a whole rather than the portrait subject. If the subject moves just before the shutter is released, their face may not be in the area indicated by the green border when the picture is taken.
