that are the same distance away as faces within the yellow AF
area are also focused.
●
It will be fixed to [ ] (Face Detection) when the [Face Recog.] is set to [ON].
●

• Scene Modes ([Panning] [Night Scenery] [Handheld Night Shot] [Food] [Starry Sky])
• [Creative Control] Mode ([Miniature Effect] [Soft Focus])
• [Panorama Shot] Mode
●
If the camera misinterprets a non-human subject as a face in [ ] (Face Detection)
setting, switch to another setting.

If conditions prevent the face from being recognised, such as when the movement
of the subject is too rapid, the [AF Mode] setting switches to [ ] (23-area-focusing).
