• When the camera detects two faces in the same area, the closest LED Macro Light to the blinking light also blinks.

The camera can tell the positions of up to three detected faces by blinking the LED Macro Lights.

When the camera detects four or five faces, four or five LED Macro Lights blink depending on the number of detected faces. When the camera detects six or more faces, all the six lights blink (the lights do not tell the positions of detected faces).

In b(Auto Picture) mode, the LED Macro Lights turn off if the camera selects a mode in which the Face Detection function does not work after pressing the shutter release button halfway.

When the Self-portrait Assist function is on, the LED Macro Lights do not turn off after the set period of Power Saving.

The LED Macro Lights do not blink when the detected faces are too small.
