Using face detection

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.

The camera automatically tracks the registered face.

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 or Smart Touch AF.

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

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

When you set the Face Detection options, some burst options are not available.

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. 79) 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.
