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.
1 Note
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 .
