Using the Face Detection Function

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 display screen, 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 size as it tracks the face.

The Face Detection function can detect up to 10 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 10 frames, including a main frame and white frame(s).

3 TakingPictures

• Face Detection AF and AE may not work if the subject is wearing sunglasses, has part of their face covered or is not looking toward the camera.

If the camera cannot detect the subject's face, the camera focuses using the setting currently selected in [Focusing Area].

You can register up to three faces to be detected preferentially.
