Face AiAF

Detects people’s faces, and then sets the focus, exposure (evaluative
metering only), and white balance ([

] only).

After you aim the camera at the subject, a white frame is displayed
around the person’s face determined by the camera to be the main
subject, and up to two gray frames are displayed around other detected
faces.

When the camera detects movement, frames will follow moving subjects,
within a certain range.

After you press the shutter button halfway, up to nine green frames are
displayed around faces in focus.

If faces are not detected, or when only gray frames are displayed
(without a white frame), up to nine green frames are displayed in the
areas in focus when you press the shutter button halfway.

If faces are not detected when Servo AF (

=

84

) is set to [On], the

AF frame is displayed in the center of the screen when you press
the shutter button halfway.

Examples of faces that cannot be detected:

-

Subjects that are distant or extremely close

-

Subjects that are dark or light

-

Faces in profile, at an angle, or partly hidden

The camera may misinterpret non-human subjects as faces.

No AF frames are displayed if the camera cannot focus when you
press the shutter button halfway.
