Take the picture.
Check the focus and exposure, then
press the shutter button completely to
take the picture (p.134).
If the subject’s face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be
possible. If the lens enables manual focusing even while the lens’s focus
mode switch is set to <
f
>, turn the focusing ring to attain rough focus.
The face will then be detected and <
p
> will be displayed.
An object other than a human face may be detected as a face.
Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the
picture, too bright or too dark, titled horizontally or diagonally, or partially
hidden.
The <
p
> may cover only part of the face.
When you press <
0
>, the AF method will switch to the [
Live mode
]
(p.142). You can press the <
S
> key to move the AF point. Press <
0
>
again to return to [
u
(Face detection) Live Mode
]. (If C.Fn-9 is set, hold
down the <
O
/
L
> button and press <
0
>.)
Since AF is not possible with a face detected near the edge of the
picture, the <
p
> will be grayed out. Then if you press the shutter button
halfway, the center AF point < > will be used to focus.
