_1_ Notes About Face Detection
• The camera's ability to detect faces depends on a va fiery 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 person's 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 faces are looking.
• In some rare cases, such as those described in "Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus" (_ 71), the
subject may not be in focus even though the double border turns green, Should this occur, use
another mode, such as I_! (auto) mode, and try focus lock shooting (_ 70) by focusing on
another subject that is the same distance from the camera.
