Shooting with Face Priority
The face-priority function is activated when
Face priority
(default setting) is
selected for
AF area mode
(
A
124) or when shooting in
Scene auto selector
(
A
43),
Portrait
(
A
37), or
Night portrait
(
A
38) scene mode.
The camera automatically detects and focuses on a face looking toward the
camera.
1
Frame a picture.
When the camera recognizes a face looking
toward the camera, that face will be framed by a
yellow double border.
When the camera detects more than one face,
the closest face is framed by a double border
and the others by single borders. Up to 12 faces
can be detected (up to three faces when
shooting with the smile timer).
The camera focuses on the face framed by the double border. To select another face for
focusing, tap a face (focus area) framed by a single border. The border surrounding the
selected face will change to a double border.
2
Press the shutter-release button halfway.
The camera focuses on the face framed by the
double border. The double border will glow
green and focus will be locked.
When the camera is unable to focus, the double
border will blink. Press the shutter-release
button halfway again and focus.
Press the shutter-release button the rest of the
way down to take the picture.
When shooting with the smile timer, the shutter is automatically released if the camera
detects a smiling face after the shutter-release button is fully pressed (
A
