•
The camera automatically detects the subject
and selects the focus area.
•
Use on occasions when you don’t have time to
select the focus point yourself, for portraits, or
for snapshots and other spur-of-the-moment
photos.
•
A yellow border indicating the focus point
appears around the faces of human subjects
detected by the camera. If eyes are detected, the
yellow focus point will instead appear over one
or the other of their eyes (face/eye detection AF).
This frees you to concentrate on framing and
your subject’s expression while photographing
active portrait subjects (
