Using face detection
If you use face detection options, your camera can automatically detect a human face. When you focus on a human face, the camera
adjusts the exposure automatically. Take photos quickly and easily by using Blink Detection to detect closed eyes or Smile Shot to
capture a smiling face. You can also use Smart Face Recognition to register faces and prioritize the focus on them.
•
In some scene modes, face detection is unavailable.
•
Face detection may not be effective when:
-
The subject is far from the camera. (The focus frame will appear
orange for Smile Shot and Blink Detection.)
-
It is too bright or too dark.
-
The subject is not facing the camera.
-
The subject is wearing sunglasses or a mask.
-
The subject is in backlighting or the lighting condition is unstable.
-
The subject's facial expression changes remarkably.
•
Face detection is not available when using a photo style or a smart
filter effect.
•
When you use the face detection option, the digital zoom will not
work.
•
Depending on the selected face detection option, the timer is not
available or some timer options are not available.
•
When you take photos of detected faces, they will be registered in
the face list.
•
You can view registered faces in order of priority in Playback mode.
(p. 72) Even though faces are registered successfully, they may not be
classified in Playback mode.
•
The detected face in Shooting mode may not appear in the face list
or Smart Album.

Detecting faces
Your camera automatically detects human faces (up to 10 human
faces).
In Shooting mode, select f
appears in a white focus frame and the rest of the faces appear in
gray focus frames.
•
The closer you are to the subject, the quicker your camera will detect
faces.
•
If you want to focus faces in gray focus frames, touch them to focus.
•
The detected faces may not be registered depending on shooting
options.
