~ Face-Priority AF
The camera's ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not
the subject is facing the camera. The camera may be unable to detect subjects that are not
facing the camera or faces that are hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions or that take up
too much or too little of the frame. If no face is detected whE~n the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway, the camera will focus on the subject in the center of the frame.
The camera will continue
to focus until a face is detected or the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway. If a flashing double red border is displayed, the camera is unable to focus;
recompose the picture and
try again.
~ Using Autofocus in Live View
Autofocus is slower in live view. The camera may be unable to focus in the following situations:
• The subject contains lines parallel
to the long edge of the frame
• The subject lacks contrast
• The subject in
the focus point contains areas of sharply contrasting brightness, or the
subject
is lit by spot lighting or by a neon sign or other lig 1t source that changes in
brightness
• A cross (star) filter
or other special filter is used
• The subject appears smaller than
the focus point
• The subject is dominated by regular geometric patterns (e.g., windows in a skyscraper)
• The subject
is moving
Note
that the focus point may sometimes be displayed in green when the camera is unable to
focus.
Use an AF-S lens. The desired results may not be achieved with other lenses or teleconverters.
