• When the Face Detection function does not work, Blink Detection also does not function. Even if the subjects’ faces are detected, Blink Detection may not function depending on the condition of the detected faces.

You can set the Instant Review function to off (p.102).

You can also disable the Blink Detection function (p.101).

Using the Face Detection Function

With this camera, the Face Detection function is available with all shooting modes.

When the camera detects a person’s face in the image, the Face Detection function displays a yellow face detection frame around the face on the screen display, sets the focus (Face Detection AF) and compensates the exposure (Face Detection AE).

If the subject in the face detection frame moves, the frame also moves and changes its own size as it tracks the face.

The Face Detection function can detect up to 32 people’s faces. If it detects multiple faces, the camera displays a yellow frame over the main face and white frame(s) over the other face(s). It can display up to a total of 31 frames including a main frame and white frame(s).

The default setting is [On]. You can switch to the Smile Capture function that automatically releases the shutter when the subject smiles. Refer to “Switching the Face Detection Function” (p.100) for details.
