∫ About [š] ([Face Detection])
The following AF area frames are displayed when the camera detects the
faces.
Yellow:
When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the frame turns green when the
camera is focused.
White:
Displayed when more than one face is detected. Other faces that are the same distance away
as the faces within the yellow AF areas are also brought into focus.
Note
•
Under certain picture-taking conditions including the following cases, the face detection function may
fail to work, making it impossible to detect faces. [AF Mode] is switched to [ ] ([Ø] while motion
pictures are taken).
– When the face is not facing the camera
– When the face is at an angle
– When the face is extremely bright or dark
– When there is little contrast on the faces
– When the facial features are hidden behind sunglasses, etc.
– When the face appears small on the screen
– When there is rapid movement
– When the subject is not a human being
– When jitter is occurring

• If the camera is registering something other than someone’s face, change the settings to something
other than [
š].
