Focus on the subject.

Press the shutter button halfway and
the camera will focus on the face
covered by the <
p
> frame.
 When focus is achieved, the AF point
will turn green and the beeper will
sound.
 If focus is not achieved, the AF point
will turn orange.

If a face cannot be detected, the AF
point < > will be displayed and AF
will be executed at the center.

Take the picture.

Check the focus and exposure, then
press the shutter button completely to
take the picture (p.70).

If the subject’s face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be
possible. If the lens enables manual focusing even while the lens’s focus
mode switch is set to <
f
>, turn the focusing ring to attain rough focus.
The face will then be detected and <
p
> will be displayed.

An object other than a human face may be detected as a face.

Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the picture,
too bright or too dark, tilted horizontally or diagonally, or partially hidden.

The <
p
> may cover only a part of the face.

When you press <
0
>, the AF method will switch to [ FlexiZone - Single ]
(p.73). You can press the <
S
> cross keys to move the AF point. Press
<
0
> again to return to [
u
(Face detection) Live Mode ]. (If C.Fn-9 is
set, hold down the <
O
/
L
> button and press <
0
>.)

Since AF is not possible with a face detected near the edge of the
picture, the <
p
> will be grayed out. Then if you press the shutter button
halfway, the center AF point < > will be used to focus.
