(double white frame)

Face selection cursor (orange)
Clearing the registered face
Move the selection cursor to the registered face
using the V/v/B/b button, and press the SET
button or SEL/SET dial.
The registered face is cleared, the face frame
becomes a single frame, and the registered face
icon disappears.
When faces are detected with the registered face
frame not displayed and the face selection cursor
(orange) displayed, you can clear the registered
face by pressing the SET button or SEL/SET dial
twice.
Notes
• Faces may not be detected depending on the recording
environment, condition of the subject, or the settings.
• You may not be able to get the proper effect, or objects
other than people's faces may be detected as a face, in
some recording environments. In this case, set the face
detection AF function to Off.
• Registration of the face of the intended individual for
focusing before shooting is recommended.
• Face registration may not be successful depending on
hairstyle, facial decoration, or if not directly facing the
camera. In this case, the face frame may become a
double frame, but the registered face icon is not
displayed.
• If a face has already been registered, clearing the
existing face and then registering the new face is
recommended.
• The registered face function is not available when
Menu Settings >Direct Menu with <SET> (page 93) in
the System menu is set to On.
