BNotes about Face Priority

•In Face priority or the smile mode, if the shutter-release button is pressed halfway when no faces are recognized, AF area mode will be set to Auto.

•In the Portrait and Night portrait settings of scene mode, if the shutter-release button is pressed halfway when no faces are recognized, focus will be set on the center of the screen.

•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 subject is not looking directly at the camera

•The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the subject is facing the camera.

•In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (A 25), the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this occur, switch to AF area mode (manual or center), refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use focus lock (A 95).

•Pictures taken in Face Priority, while in full-frame playback, will be rotated (if necessary) and displayed.
