Using the Face Detection Function

When the camera detects a person's face in the
image, the Face Detection function displays a
yellow face detection frame around the face on the
display screen, sets the focus (Face Detection AF)
and compensates the exposure (Face Detection
AE).
If the subject in the face detection frame moves,
the frame also moves and changes its size as it
tracks the face.
The Face Detection function can recognize up
to 32 people's faces. If it recognizes multiple
faces, the camera displays a yellow frame over
the main face and white frames over the other
faces. Up to a total of 31 frames, including both
the main and white frames can be displayed on
the screen.
