Face Priority is always on and pressing the

button switches between

Face Priority and Face Selection in the following modes.
• Auto Picture
• Natural Skin Tone
• Portrait
• Half-length Portrait
• Kids
You can also turn Face Priority on or off and switch to Face Selection by
pressing the

button in the other modes.

• Up to 15 faces can be recognized.
• When you turn on Face Selector, the person closest to the center

with the most visible face shown on the display is initially selected.

• If the person moves or the arrangement is changed after selecting

a face with Face Selector, you must reselect a face. This avoids
focusing on the wrong person.

• The face of the person selected with Face Selector is shown first

while enlarging faces in Playback mode.

• If you switch to Face Selector and either press OK or do nothing

for 5 seconds, the selection information at that point is saved and
the Face Priority screen appears.

• When Face Priority is on, both “Face Recognition AF (Auto

Focus)” and “Face Recognition AE (Auto Exposure)” are active
during shooting regardless of the Capture mode or whether Face
Selector is used.

• “Face Recognition AF” and “Face Recognition AE” may not work

if the subject’s face is partly covered, for example, with
sunglasses, or when the subject does not face the camera.

• During Continuous Shooting, face information is recorded for the

first image only.
