_ If the focus is far off. face detection will not be possible. If you set

greatly out of focus.
An object other than a human face may be detected as a face.
Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the
picture, too bright or too dark, or partially hidden.
The <[ :> may cover only part of the face.
[]
if you press <_)> or the < _ > button the AF point < _ _> will appear at
the center and you can use the <_> keys to move the AF point. If you
press <_> or the <_> button again, the AF point will move to the
detected subject.
Since AF is not possible with a face detected near the edge of the picture.
the <[ ]> will be grayed out. If you press the shutter button halfway, the
subject will be focused in FlexiZone - Multi method with automatic
selection.
