Focusing

Using Face Detection

In the following shooting modes, the camera uses face
detection to automatically focus on human faces.

If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is
displayed around the face that the camera will focus on, and
single borders are displayed around the other faces.

If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera

will focus on the subject in the center of the frame.

Notes About Face Detection

The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the subject

is facing the camera. Additionally, the camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame

When the frame includes more than one face, the faces detected by the camera and the face on

which the camera focuses depend upon a variety of factors, including the direction in which the
faces are looking.

In some rare cases, such as those described in “Autofocus” (A 28), the subject may not be in

focus even though the double border turns green. Should this occur, use another mode, such as
A (auto) mode, and try focus lock shooting (A 66) by focusing on another subject that is the
same distance from the camera.
