gIntelligent Face Detection and Red-Eye Removal

3Focus.

Press the shutter button halfway to set focus and exposure for the subject in the green border.

cCaution

In some modes, the camera may set exposure for the frame as a whole rather than the portrait sub- ject. If no face is detected when the shutter button is pressed halfway (pg. 100), the camera will focus on the subject at the center of the display and red-eye will not be removed.

4Shoot.

Press the shutter button all the way down to shoot.

c Caution If the subject moves as the shutter button is pressed, their face may not be in the area indicated by the green border when the picture is taken.

If qFACE DETECTION ON

RED EYE REMOVAL ON is selected, the picture will be processed to reduce red-eye before it is recorded.

Intelligent Face Detection Intelligent Face Detection is recommended when using the self-timer for group- or self-portraits (pg. 34).

When setting focus and exposure, the camera gives priority to subjects in its face recognition database (pg. 40), and subjects identifi ed in this manner can later be located using image search (pg. 54). When a picture taken with Intelligent Face Detection is dis- played, the camera can automatically select faces for playback zoom (pg. 45), red-eye removal (pg. 53), slide shows (pg. 81), and when ZOOM (CONTINUOUS) is selected for AIMAGE DISP. (pg. 87).
