Face detection
The camera automatically detects up to five human faces, indicated by frames on the screen. The
camera automatically focuses on the nearest face. You can also select which face to focus on by tapping
it on the screen. When you tap the camera screen, a blue frame shows which face is selected and in
focus. Face detection cannot be used for all scene types. Continuous autofocus is on.
Touch focus
Touch a specific area on the camera screen to set the area of focus. Continuous autofocus is off. Touch
and hold the camera screen until the yellow focus frame turns blue, indicating that the focus is set. The
photo is taken when you release your finger.
Object tracking
When you select an object by touching it in the viewfinder, the camera tracks it for you.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
HDR
Use the HDR (High Dynamic Range) setting to take a photo against strong back light
or in conditions where the contrast is sharp. HDR compensates for the loss of detail
