Scene auto selector, Portrait, Night portrait,
or Smart portrait scene mode (A33)

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-release button is pressed halfway when no faces are detected:
In A (auto) mode, short movie show mode, or when AF area mode is set to Face

In Portrait, Night portrait, or Smart portrait, the camera focuses on the area in
the center of the frame.

Notes About Face Detection
The camera's ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction
in which the faces are looking.
The camera cannot detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
