Using Face Detection

BNotes About Face Detection

The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the subject is facing the camera. Additionally, the camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:

-When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed

-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.

In some rare cases, such as those described in “Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus” (A31), the subject may not be in focus even though the double border turns green. If the camera does not focus, change AF area mode to Manual or Center in A(auto) mode, and try focus lock shooting (A76) by focusing on another subject that is the same distance from the camera.

BViewing Images That Were Captured Using Face Detection

During playback, the camera automatically rotates images according to the orientation of the faces that were detected at the time of shooting (except when viewing an image captured in a series).

When zooming in on an image displayed full-frame by rotating the zoom control to g (i), the image will be enlarged so that the face that was detected at the time of shooting is displayed in the center of the monitor (A33; except when viewing an image captured in a series).
