Selecting the AF Method
Tapping a Face for Focus
Tapping a face or subject to focus on changes the AF point to < > and
focuses where you tap.
Even if the face or subject moves on the screen, the AF point < > moves to
track it.
If the subject's face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not
o
be possible. Adjust the focus manually ( = 214) so that the face can be
detected, then perform AF.
An object other than a human face may be detected as a face.
o
Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the picture, too
o
bright or too dark, or partially hidden.
AF cannot detect subjects or people's faces at the edges of the screen.
o
Recompose the shot to center the subject or bring the subject closer to the
center.
The < p > may cover only a part of the face, not the whole face.
o
The size of the AF point changes depending on the subject.

Setting the Initial Servo AF Position
1. Set [ 8 C.Fn II-7: Initial Servo AF pt for c ] to an option other than
[Automatic].
2. An Area AF frame (1) and AF point (2) are displayed.
3. Press the < S > button, then turn the < 6 > or < 5 > dial to move the
AF point to the position to focus on. You can also move the AF point by
touching the screen or pressing the < V > cross keys. Pressing the < L >
button will return the AF point to the screen center.
4. Press < 0 > to set the current position as the starting position for Servo
AF.
