Focus Lock - Nikon COOLPIX AW110 Reference Manual

Notes on Face Detection
• The camera's ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the
subject is facing the camera. Additionally, the camera may be unable to detect faces in the
following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
• When the frame includes more than one face, the faces detected by the camera and the face on
which the camera focuses depend upon a variety of factors, including the direction in which the
subject is facing.
• In some rare cases, such as those described in "Autofocus" (A64), the subject may not be in focus
even though the double border turns green. If the camera does not focus, try "Focus Lock" (A63).

Viewing Pictures Taken Using Face Detection
When zooming in on an image displayed in full-frame playback mode by operating the zoom
control toward g (i), the image is enlarged at the center of the face that was detected during
shooting (A65).

Focus Lock
