Face Detection

 

When the camera is pointed at a human face in the shooting

 

modes as shown below, the camera automatically detects the

 

face and focuses on it. When the camera detects more than

 

one face, the double border (focus area) is displayed around

 

the face that is focused on, and single borders around the

 

others.
