When shooting non-human subjects or when no faces
are recognized:
Camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine)
containing the subject closest to the camera.
When the subject is in focus, the active focus area glows
green.
When people's faces (front view) are recognized:
Camera will focus on the face surrounded by a double
border.
Once focus has been locked the double border
will
glow
green.
• When the digital zoom is used, the focus indicator
(fE
6) glows green once the focus has been locked in the center of the monitor.
• The shutter speed and aperture are displayed when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway.
• The focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, and then the double border
blinks in Face Priority, or the focus area or the focus indicator blinks red, the camera is
unable to focus. Change the composition and press the shutter-release button
halfway down again.
