With the X70, the Face Recognition function is available with all shooting modes.
When the camera detects a person’s face in the image, the Face Recognition function displays a yellow face recognition frame around the face on the display screen, sets the focus (Face Recognition AF) and compensates the exposure (Face Recognition AE).
If the subject in the face recognition frame moves, the frame also moves and changes size as it tracks the face.
The Face Recognition 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 face(s). It can display up to a total of 15 frames, including a main frame and white frame(s).

• Face Recognition AF and AE may not work if the subject is wearing sunglasses, has part of the face covered or is not looking toward the camera.
•If the camera cannot recognize the subject's face, the camera focuses using the setting currently selected in [Focusing Area].
•When the Smile Capture function is on, the shutter may not be released automatically because the Smile Capture function may not work in some situations, such as when the recognized face is too small.
To Switch the Face Recognition Function
By default, the Face Recognition function is set to Face Priority On. You can switch to the Smile Capture function, which automatically releases the shutter when your subject smiles. The Face Recognition function is switched as follows each time the I button is pressed:
