Taking Pictures (AUTO Mode)

Subjects not suitable for Intelligent Face Detection

Intelligent Face Detection automatically focuses on a face(s) turned towards the camera. However, difficulties will occur with the Intelligent Face Detection mode in the following situations:

•The face is obscured by glasses, sunglasses, a hat, or hair.•A person turned sideways, or who has their head tilted.•The subject is too far away to recognize a face.

Intelligent Face Detection will not work in cases where the subject is standing on his/her head, is not a person (pet or other animal), or if the camera is not held correctly.

For such subjects use AF/AE lock.
