Focus Area
• When the camera detects a face, the face is
displayed inside a yellow border. When the
camera acquires focus on a face displayed inside a
double border (focus area), the double border
turns green. If no faces are detected, the camera
focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.
• In some shooting conditions, the pet face may
not be detected and other subjects may be
displayed inside a border.
