Intelligent Face Detection
Because it ensures that the faces of portrait subjects
will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 31) is
recommended when using the self-timer for group
portraits or self-portraits.
with Intelligent Face Detection, select S 10 SEC or
R 2 SEC in the self-timer menu and then press the
shutter button all the way down to start the timer.
The camera will detect faces while the timer is count-
ing down and adjust focus and exposure immedi-
ately before the shutter is released. Be careful not to
move until the picture has been recorded.

The self-timer turns off automatically when the picture
is taken, a diff erent shooting mode is selected, play-
back mode is selected, or the camera is turned off .

Choose how the camera meters exposure when
Intelligent Face Detection is off .
• o MULTI: Automatic scene recognition is used
to adjust exposure for a wide range of shooting
conditions.
• p SPOT: The camera meters lighting conditions
at the center of the frame. Recommended when
the background is much brighter or darker than
the main subject. Can be used with focus lock
(pg. 34) to meter off -center subjects.
• q AVERAGE: Exposure is set to the average for
the entire frame. Provides consistent exposure
across multiple shots with the same lighting,
and is particularly eff ective for landscapes and
portraits of subjects dressed in black or white.
