Face Detection AF/AE Function

This function is only available in Portrait

and

Night Portrait

capture modes. When the

shutter button is pressed halfway, the face

detection function is activated. When the subject’s

face is detected, the green focus frames appear on

the LCD screen. Then the camera automatically

adjusts the focus point and exposure to the

optimized value.
However, when the camera fails to detect your subject’s face, the camera will set

the focus to Multi-Zone with a green or red focus frame.
