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 changes to green. If no faces are
detected, the camera focuses on the subject in the
center of the frame.
Under some shooting conditions, the pet face may not
be detected and other subjects may be displayed inside
a border.

Notes About Skin Softening
It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting.
Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be achieved,
and skin softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.
