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

-the subject is backlit or the lighting conditions are unstable

Face Detection is not available when you set the Smart Filter effects, Image adjustment, or Tracking AF.

Depending on the shooting options you selected, available Face Detection options may differ.

Depending on the Face Detection options you selected, the timer function may not be available.

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

Depending on the Face Detection options you selected, Burst options may not be available.

When you set Smart Face Recognition option and 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. 75) Even though faces are registered successfully, they may not be classified in Playback mode.

A face detected with Smart Face Recognition option may not appear in the face list or Smart Album.
