Focusing
The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.
Using Face Detection
When the following shooting modes or settings
are selected, the camera uses face detection to
automatically focus on human faces.
• o (scene auto selector) mode (A23)
• Portrait or Night portrait scene mode
(A24)
• Smart portrait mode (A35)
• When AF area mode (A84) in A (auto)
mode (A41) is set to Face priority
If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is displayed around
the face that the camera focuses on, and single borders are displayed around
the other faces.
If the shutter button is pressed halfway when no faces are detected:
• In o (scene auto selector) mode, the focus area changes depending on
the scene.
• In Portrait and Night portrait scene modes or in smart portrait mode, the
camera focuses in the center of the frame.
• In A (auto) mode, the camera selects the focus area containing the subject
closest to the camera.

direction in which the faces are looking.
• The camera cannot detect faces in the following situations:
