Tips for detecting faces

•When your camera detects a face, it tracks the detected face automatically.

•Face Detection may not be effective when:

-the subject is far from the camera (The focus frame will appear orange for Smile Shot and Blink Detection.)

-it is too bright or too dark

-the subject is not facing the camera

-the subject is wearing sunglasses or a mask

-the subject’s facial expression changes drastically

-the subject is backlit or the lighting conditions are unstable

•Face Detection is not available when you set Smart Filter effects, Image adjustment, Smart Zoom, Selection AF, Tracking AF, or Manual Focus.

•When you set Face Detection options, the AF area is automatically set to Multi AF.

•You cannot use this function when the drive mode dial is set to Continuous, Precapture, or Bracket.

•When you capture photos of detected faces, they will be registered in the face list.

•You can view registered faces in order of priority in Playback mode. (p. 97) Even though faces are registered successfully, they may not be classified in Playback mode.

•A face detected in Shooting mode may not appear in the face list or Smart Album.
