Shooting Features

Face Detection

BNotes on the Face Detection Function

The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:

-When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions

-When faces take up too much or too little of the frame

When the frame includes more than one face, the faces detected by the camera and the face on which the camera focuses depend upon a variety of factors, including the direction in which the faces are looking.

When shooting a subject that is not suitable for autofocus (A29), the camera may not be able to focus properly on the subject despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this occur, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject (A39).

CViewing Pictures That Were Taken Using Face Detection

If you enlarge a picture by tapping Oor tapping the face detected at the time of shooting twice quickly in full-frame playback mode, the picture is enlarged so that the detected face is displayed in the center of the monitor (except pictures taken in sequence).

If the camera detected multiple faces when the picture was taken, you can tap Mor Nto display a different face. Once you change the zoom ratio, you will be able to zoom in on an area of the picture where there are no faces.
