Using face detection
If you use face detection options, your camera can automatically detect a human face. When you focus on a human face, the camera
adjusts the exposure automatically. Take photos quickly and easily by using
Blink Detection to detect closed eyes or Smile Shot to
capture a smiling face.
Detecting faces
Your camera automatically detects human faces (up to 10 faces
in one scene).
