Registering the priority face (Selected-face Memory)
Normally the camera automatically selects the face to focus on according to the [Face
Detection] setting, but you can also select and register a face to be given priority.
1
Press
z
on the control button during Face Detection. The leftmost face is registered as
the priority face, and the frame changes from
to an orange frame (
).
2
Each time you press
z
, the priority face moves one face to the right. Press
z
repeatedly
until the orange frame (
) is on the face you want to register.
3
To cancel the face registration (Off), move the orange frame to the rightmost face, then
press
z
again.
• When you remove the battery from the camera, the face registration is reset.
• When the registered face disappears from the LCD screen, the camera returns to the setting selected
by [Face Detection]. When the registered face is shown on the LCD screen again, the camera
focuses on the registered face.
• It may not be possible to detect the registered face correctly depending on the surrounding
brightness, the subject’s hairstyle, etc. In this case, register the face again under the conditions
where the image will be shot.
• When the Smile Shutter function is used with the Face Detection frame registered, Smile Detection
is performed only on the registered face.
• In Easy Shooting mode, the priority face cannot be registered.
