bFACE DETECTION (DOnly)

Intelligent Face Detection allows the camera to automatically detect human faces and set focus and exposure for a face anywhere in the frame for shots that emphasize portrait subjects. Choose for group portraits (in vertical or horizontal orien- tations) to prevent the camera from focusing on the background. Intelligent Face Detection also offers a red-eye removal option for removing “red-eye” effects caused by the flash.

•gON JON: Intelligent Face Detection and red- eye removal on. Use with the flash.

•gON JOFF: Intelligent Face Detection on; red- eye removal off.

•OFF: Intelligent Face Detection and red-eye re- moval off.

2Tip: Red-Eye Removal

When red-eye removal is on, pictures are processed to reduce red-eye before being recorded. Select ON for BSAVE ORG IMAGE in the setup menu (pg. 80) to save unprocessed copies of pictures created with red- eye removal.

camera will select the face closest to the center of the frame; other faces are indicated by white borders (note that some time may be required for face detection if the number of faces is very large). Intelligent Face Detection is recommended when using the self-timer for group- or self-portraits (pg. 26).

When a picture taken with Intelligent Face Detection is displayed, the camera can automatically select faces for red-eye removal (pg. 71), playback zoom (pg. 37), slide shows (pg. 69), printing (pg. 48), and cropping (pg. 76).
