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 recognize up to 32 people’s faces. If it recognizes multiple faces, the camera displays a yellow frame over the main face and white frames over the other faces. It can display up to a total of 31 frames, including both the main and white frames.
