Taking Portrait Pictures
To take portrait pictures, select either I (Portrait) mode or C (Kids)
mode.
In I (Portrait), the face recognition AF and face recognition AE functions
is activated. The position of the face is recognized automatically simply by
pointing the camera at the subject from the front, and the focus is adjusted
(face recognition AF) and exposure adjusted (face recognition AE) to take
the picture.
C (Kids) mode is particularly suited to taking pictures of children who
move around a lot because the auto-tracking AF is activated.
