Take the picture.
 Check the focus and exposure, then
press the shutter button completely to
take the picture (p.242).
 Focusing on a subject other than a human face
If you press <0> or the <L> button, the AF point <z> will appear
at the center and you can use the <W> <X> or <Y> <Z> keys to
move the AF point. Once the AF point <z> achieves focus, it will
track the subject even if you change the composition or the subject
moves.
 If the subject’s face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be
possible. Adjust the focus manually (p.271) so that the face can be
detected, then perform AF.
 An object other than a human face may be detected as a face.
 Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the
picture, too bright or too dark, or partially hidden.
 The <p> may cover only a part of the face, not the whole face.
 Use the Area AF frame as a guide, and focus within the Area AF frame.
 The size of the AF point changes depending on the subject.
