BIntelligent Face Detection and Red-Eye Removal

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 to prevent the camera from focusing on the background. It can be used in tall and wide orientations and is available in AUTO, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, C, Q, and Mmodes (pp. 28–33). Intelligent Face Detection also offers a red-eye removal option for removing “red-eye” effects caused by the fl ash.
