Face Recognition

Face Recognition can be activated in

b (Auto Picture mode), z

(Natural Skin Tone mode) and e (Portrait mode).
This function recognizes faces, focuses, and performs exposure
compensation when capturing images.

• In

b mode, the Face Recognition can be activated when

the shutter release button is pressed halfway and Portrait is
selected.

• If the camera cannot recognize the location of the subject's

face, the camera focuses using the normal Focusing Area
(Multiple).

• The Face Recognition function may not work if the subject is

wearing sunglasses, has part of the face covered, or is not
looking toward the camera.
