Using Face Detection p s

If you use Face Detection options, your camera can automatically detect a human face. When you focus on a human face, the camera adjusts the exposure automatically. Use Blink Detection to detect closed eyes or Smile Shot to capture a smiling face. You can also use Smart Face Recognition to register faces and prioritize the focus on them.

•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

-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
