You can have the camera automatically detect
the position of a face and use this data to set the
focus and exposure* while shooting. In addition,
the camera will meter the subject so that the face
is correctly illuminated when the flash fires. If a
face is not detected, shooting will take place with
[On].
*Only in evaluative metering mode
The camera detects the subject and highlights
the AF frames, from 9 available points, that it will
use to determine the focus.
The camera focuses using the center AF frame.
This is convenient for focusing on a specific part
of a subject with greater certainty.
