_1_ Notes about Face Priority
• In Face priority, if the shutter release button is pressed halfway when no faces are recognized, AF
area mode will be set to Auto.
• In the Portrait, Night portrait settings or the smile mode of scene mode, if the shutter release
button is pressed halfway when no faces are recognized, focus will be set on the center of the
screen.
• The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
When the subject is not looking directly at the camera
• The camera's ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the
subject is facing the camera.
• In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (_ 25),
the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows green. If the subject
is not in focus, switch to Manual or Center for AFarea mode in I_1 {auto) mode, try to use the
focus lock (_ 104) and refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the
camera. Pictures taken in Face Priority, while in full frame playback, the image is automatically
rotated to the vertical direction of the captured face and displayed.
• Pictures taken in Face Priority, while in full frame playback, will be rotated (if necessary) and
displayed,
