Using Face Detection

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

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

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