Face Detection

Notes About Face Detection Function
• The camera's ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the
subject is facing the camera. The camera may be unable to 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
• When the frame includes more than one face, the faces detected by the camera and the face on
which the camera focuses depend upon a variety of factors, including the direction in which the
faces are looking.
• In some rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows
green (A29). Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode and set AF area mode to Manual or
Center. Try refocusing on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the
actual portrait subject (A64).

Viewing Images That Were Captured Using Face Detection
• When images in which a face was detected during shooting are played back, the images will be
automatically rotated for playback display according to the orientation of the face detected
except images captured using Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 6 (A37, E26).
• In full-frame playback mode, the image will be enlarged with the face detected during shooting
(A31) at the center of the monitor when the zoom control is rotated to g (i) except images that
were captured using Continuous, BSS, and Multi-shot 6 (A37, E26).
