If multiple faces are detected, the face used for focus can be selected via the control to
which [

 Face Selection] has been assigned. Pressing this control selects the face nearest

the AF target. To choose a different face, hold the control and rotate the front or rear

The face used for focus can also be selected via touch controls (

).

Face and eye priority are also available in

[MF] (P. 118)

. Faces and eyes detected by the

camera are indicated by white frames. Exposure will be set according to the value metered
for the center of the face.
When set to

] (P. 124)

(Digital ESP metering), metering is performed with priority given

to faces.
If the zoom frame is displayed, the camera will focus on the subject in the zoom frame.

Press the shutter button the rest of the way down to shoot.

Depending on the subject and the art filter setting, the camera may not be able to correctly detect
the face.
We recommend selecting [Face Priority Off] when photographing non-portrait subjects using
[C‑AF] or [C‑AF

J

] in still photography mode.

Even when faces or eyes are detected, you can opt to focus on a target chosen using AF-target
selection rather than on the face or eye selected by the camera.
