Choose for shots that emphasize portrait subjects. Faces can be detected with the camera in vertical or horizontal orientation; if a face is detected, it will be indicated by a green border. If there is more than one face in the frame, the camera will select the face closest to the center; other faces are indicated by white borders. You can also choose whether the camera detects and focuses on eyes when Intelligent Face Detection is on.

Choose from the following options:

Option Description
FACE ON/EYE OFF Intelligent Face Detection only.
FACE ON/EYE AUTO The camera automatically chooses which eye to focus on when a face is detected.

FACE ON/LEFT EYE PRIORITY The camera focuses on the left eye of subjects detected using Intelligent Face Detection.
FACE OFF/EYE OFF Intelligent Face Detection and eye priority off.

warning In some modes, the camera may set exposure for the frame as a whole rather than the portrait subject.
If the subject moves as the shutter button is pressed, the face may not be in the area indicated by the green border when the picture is taken.

information The face selected by the camera is indicated by a green border.
If there is more than one face in the frame, the camera will select the face closest to the center; other faces are indicated by white borders.
If the selected subject leaves the frame, the camera will wait a set time for its return and consequently the green frame may sometimes appear in locations where no face is seen.
Depending on shooting conditions, face selection may be suspended at the close of burst shooting.
Faces can be detected with the camera in vertical or horizontal orientation.
If the camera is unable to detect the subject's eyes because they are hidden by hair, glasses, or other objects, the camera will instead focus on faces.
Face/eye detection options can also be accessed via shortcuts.
