4 Point the camera at your subject.
• Faces detected by the camera are indicated by white
frames. The face chosen for focus is indicated by
brackets at the corners of the frame. If eye-priority AF is
enabled, a white frame will appear over one or the other
of the selected subject’s eyes.
• If multiple faces are detected, the face used for focus
can be selected via the control to which [ I Face
Selection] (P. 122) has been assigned using [Button
Function] (P. 116). Pressing this control selects the
face nearest the AF target. To choose a different face,
hold the control and rotate the front or rear dial. Release

• Depending on the subject and the art fi lter setting, the camera may not be able to correctly
detect the face.

given to faces.
