By setting [g FACE DETECT] to [ON], the camera will detect people’s faces in the frame and
adjust the focus and metering automatically.

• In order to use the

< button, [Fn FACE DETECT] needs to be set up in the menu in advance.

g“; FUNCTION” (P. 96)

• After setting [g FACE DETECT] to [ON] while using the

< button, the following functions are

automatically set to the best settings for taking pictures of people.

If the camera detects a face, a frame will be
displayed in that location.

• When you press the shutter button, the camera will focus

on the position of the face detection frame (however, if a
single AF target is selected with [AF AREA], the camera
will focus on the AF target selected).

• With [AF SENSOR] or [HYBRID AF], the camera will

focus on the AF target that is closest to the face detection
frame.

Notes

• During sequential shooting, face detection will work only at the first shot.
• Depending on the subject, the camera may not be able to correctly detect the face.

During live view, you can take a picture focusing manually while checking the focus on the LCD
monitor.

Set the AF mode to [S-AF+MF] or [MF].

g“AF mode selection” (P. 53)

Adjust the focus by rotating the focus ring.

• In [S-AF+MF] mode, after pressing the shutter button halfway or pressing the

AEL/AFL button,

you can rotate the focus ring to finely adjust the focus before taking the picture.

• Using the enlarged display can be very convenient when adjusting the focus manually.
