The Face Detection function does not work when using the digital zoom.

When the Scene Selection mode is set to (Portrait) mode, the Face Detection function is activated.

When the Scene Selection mode is set to (Portrait) mode, the default setting of [Face Detection] is [Auto].

Although [Face Detection] is fixed to [Auto] when Easy Shooting mode is selected, no face detection frames are displayed.

Up to 8 faces of your subjects can be detected. However, only up to 4 faces of your subjects can be

detected when (Portrait) mode is selected in the Scene Selection mode.

When the camera detects more than one subject, the camera will judge which is the main subject and set focus by priority. The Face Detection frame for the main subject will turn orange.

The frame for which the focus is set will turn green by pressing the shutter button halfway down.

Faces may not be detected correctly when:

It is too dark or too bright.

Faces are partially hidden by sunglasses, masks, hats, etc.

The subjects are not facing the camera.

Adults and children may not be recognized correctly depending on the conditions.

When an AC Adaptor (not supplied) is used, the default setting is changed to [Auto].
