Face AiAF
•
Detects people’s faces and sets the focus, exposure (evaluative metering
only) and white balance (
only).
• When the camera is pointed at subjects, a white frame appears on the
face the camera judges to be the main subject, and gray frames (max. 2)
will appear on other faces.
• A frame will follow a detected face that is moving within a certain range.
• When the shutter button is pressed halfway, up to 9 green frames will
appear on faces on which the camera focuses. If a face is not detected
when Servo AF is set to [On], the AF frame will appear in the center of the
screen.
• If a face is not detected and only gray frames (no white frame) appear,
up to 9 green frames will appear on the areas the camera focuses on
when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
• Examples of faces that cannot be detected:
• The camera may mistakenly identify non-human subjects as a face.
• If the camera cannot focus when you press the shutter button halfway,
the AF frame will not appear.
• Subjects that are far away or extremely close.
• Subjects that are dark or light.
• Faces turned to the side or at a diagonal, or faces with a portion hidden.
