Face Detection

If you use face detection options, your
camera can detect a human face. When
focusing on a human face, the brightness
of the face is also adjusted. You can also
capture natural facial expressions by using
self portrait.
[Off] : Face detection is not active.
[Normal] : This mode detects the face position of the subject
automatically and then sets the focus and exposure.
Select this mode for quick and easy face picture.
[Self-Portrait] : When taking pictures of yourself, the area of your
face is automatically detected so that you can take
self pictures more easily and quickly.
[Auto] : The camera's sensitivity is
automatically changed by
variables such as lighting value
or subject brightness.
[ISO 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 ] :
You can increase the shutter speed while the
same amount of light is present, by increasing the ISO sensitivity.
However, the image may be saturated in high luminance.
The higher the ISO value, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to light
and therefore the greater its capacity to take pictures in dark condi-
tions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO
value increases, making the image appear coarse.
Ä When [Motion Capture] is set, ISO speed will be set to Auto.
Ä [ISO] is enabled only in [Program] or [Photo Help Guide] mode.
