Shooting Features
The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.
Using Face Detection
When the following shooting modes or settings are selected,
the camera uses face detection to automatically focus on
human faces.
• G (easy auto) mode (A 31)
• Portrait or Night portrait in scene mode (A 32)
• Smart portrait mode (A 40)
• When AF area mode (A 54) in A (auto) mode (A 42) is
set to Face priority
If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is displayed around the face that
the camera focuses on, and single borders are displayed around the other faces.
If the shutter button is pressed halfway when no faces are detected:
• In G (easy auto) mode, the focus area changes depending on the scene.
• In Portrait and Night portrait scene modes, or in smart portrait mode, the camera
focuses on the area in the center of the frame.
• In A (auto) mode, the camera selects the focus area containing the subject closest to the
camera.
