bIntelligent Face Detection

Intelligent Face Detection sets focus and exposure for human faces anywhere in the frame, preventing the camera from focusing on the background in group portraits. Choose for shots that emphasize portrait subjects.

To use Intelligent Face Detection, tap MENU to display the shooting menu and select ON for bFACE DETEC- TION (P85). Faces can be detected with the camera in vertical or horizontal orientation; if a face is detected, it will be indicated by a green border. If there is more than one face in the frame, the camera will select the face closest to the center; other faces are indicated by white borders.

as a whole rather than the portrait subject.

face may not be in the area indicated by the green border

 

when the picture is taken.
