Tips
For better face detection performance, shoot the
subject(s) under the following conditions:
Shoot in a sufficiently bright place
The subject(s) does not wear glasses, a hat
or mask
The subject(s) faces directly towards the
camera
If you select a subject which has priority by
touching the frame that has appeared around
the subject’s face, a double-lined frame will
appear and that face has priority.
Flash

shooting photos with a compatible external
flash (sold separately).

judges the lack of light warrants a flash.
