Taking Pictures in Face-Priority AF Mode

When K (face-priority AF) is selected in the scene menu (B 29), a m icon is dis- played in the center of the monitor. Take pictures as described below.

1	Frame picture using m icon as guide.
	When camera detects face, m will change
	to double yellow border. If camera detects
	multiple faces, it will focus on closest sub-
	ject; other subjects are indicated by single
	border. If camera can no longer detect
	subject (for example, because subject has
	looked away from camera), borders will no
	longer be displayed; recompose picture.

AFace-Priority AF

The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the subject is facing the camera. The camera may be unable to detect faces that are hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions or that occupy too much or too little of the frame. If no face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the cam- era will focus on the subject in the center of the frame.

The camera will focus continuously until a face is detected. If the double border flashes yel- low when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera is unable to focus; re- lease the button and try again.
