Camera: Shooting options and settings
Focus area
Use this option to change the positions of the focus area.
Generally, cameras focus on the nearest subject. When there are a lot of subjects, however, unwanted subjects can be in focus. To prevent unwanted subjects from being in focus, change the focus area so that a desired subject is in focus. You can get a clearer and sharper photo by selecting an appropriate focus area.
In expert mode, tap →→Focus area, and select an option.
•Centre AF: Use this to focus on the centre of the frame.
•Multi AF: Use this to focus on multiple areas. The photo is divided into two or more areas, and the camera obtains focus points of each area and displays a green rectangle in places where focus is set correctly. It is recommended for scenery photos.
Face detection
Use this option to select a face detection mode.
In expert mode, tap →→Face detection, and select an option.
