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.
zMaking faces easier to detect
• Use an appropriate lighting level.
• Make sure the subjects’ faces are not hidden by hats, masks,
sunglasses, etc.
• Make sure the subjects are facing the camera.
