CAUTION

•If the camera or subject moves 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 LCD monitor.

If focus is still not achieved, press (Intelligent Face Detection) to turn off the function, and take the picture using AF/AE lock (➝p.32).

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.

•When the shutter button is pressed halfway with Intelligent Face Detection off, the focus will be on the center of the LCD monitor.

•When the shooting mode is set toor s, the image will be focused with respect to faces, but because the exposure will be controlled by the shooting mode, faces will not be adjusted for optimal exposure.

•If the camera is unable to detect faces in an image, it will not correct the red eye-effect sufficiently, or not at all. Also, the camera cannot correct the red-eye effect if the face is in profile.
