Face/Eye-Detection AF

When [Auto-area AF] is selected for AF-

area mode, you have the option of

enabling face-detection AF, allowing the

camera to detect the faces of human

portrait subjects. Face/eye detection AF,

in which the camera detects both faces

and eyes, is available during live view photography. Face- and

eye-detection AF can be configured using Custom Setting a5

[Auto-area AF face/eye detection].
