•You can focus on the subject more quickly than other AF modes.

•The picture may stop moving for a moment before being brought into focus when you press the shutter button halfway. This is not a malfunction.

•If the AF mode is set to [•], the AF area is not displayed until the picture is brought into focus.

•The camera may detect subjects other than a person as the face. In this case, switch the AF mode to any modes other than [š] and then take a picture.
