Use for portraits. The camera
automatically detects up to eight
faces, and adjusts focus, exposure,
and white balance. The faces
detected by the camera are shown
by square borders.
The camera may not be able to recognize faces in the following
cases:
• When the face is side-view, tilted, or moving
• When the camera is tilted or upside down (the shutter release
button is facing down)
• When the face is partially hidden or at the edge of the frame
• When the face is not clearly visible because of dark
surroundings
• When the subject is too far away (Make sure that the face
appearing in the picture display is vertically longer than one
block marked by the grid guide. GP.38)
Use when taking pictures of moving objects.
Use to photograph cats and other pets. The flash (GP.29), AF
auxiliary light (GP.93), and speaker (GP.94) turn off and flash,
AF auxiliary light, and sound settings can not be adjusted.
Use when taking portrait pictures against a nightscape. The flash
fires automatically. The shutter speed slows down, so be careful of
camera shake.
Use when shooting night scenes. In nightscape mode, the flash
fires when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
• The flash is set to [Auto].
• The flash is determined to be necessary because it is dark.
• There is a figure or another object nearby.
