Using Face Detection a p d b

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 the 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 options, or Tracking AF.

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

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