Using the
Camera
Subjects not suitable for Intelligent Face Detection
Intelligent Face Detection automatically focuses on a face(s).
However, difficulties will occur with the Intelligent Face
Detection mode in the following situations:
• The face is obscured by glasses, sunglasses, a hat or hair.
• A person turned sideways, or who has their head tilted
• The subject is too far away to recognize a face
Intelligent Face Detection will not work in cases where the
subject is standing on his/her head, is not a person (pet or
other animal), or if the camera is not held correctly.
Use AF/AE lock (
➝
p.32) to guarantee best result
when shooting a subject that is not suited for
Intelligent Face Detection.
CAUTION
• If the camera or subject move as the picture is taken,
the subject’s face may move out of the Intelligent Face
Detection frame.
• When the camera is detecting multiple faces, the green
frame is set around the face near the center. If you want
to focus on another subject, move the camera so that
the new subject is in the center of the screen.
If focus is still not achieved, press
(Intelligent Face
Detection) to turn off the function, and take the picture
using AF/AE lock (
➝
p.33).
Intelligent Face Detection can focus on a face in a white
frame providing the subjects in the green and white
frame are of the same focal length.
• Pressing the shutter button halfway with Intelligent Face
Detection off, the focus will be on the center of the
frame.
