#Cautions

Face priority applies only to the first shot in each sequence taken during sequential shooting.

Depending on the subject, the camera may not be able to correctly detect the face.

In metering modes other than [p (Digital ESP metering)], the camera will meter exposure for the selected position.

$Notes

Face priority is also available in [MF]. Faces detected by the camera are indicated by white frames.
