Subjects not suitable for Intelligent Face Detection
Intelligent Face Detection automatically focuses on a face(s).
However, difficulties will occur with the Intelligent Face
Detection mode in the following situations:
• The face is obscured by glasses, sunglasses, a hat or hair.
• The subject is too far away to recognize a face
Intelligent Face Detection may not work if the subject is not a
person (such as a pet or other animal), or if the camera is not
held correctly.
Use AF/AE lock (
➝
p.35) to guarantee best result when
shooting a subject that is not suited for Intelligent Face
Detection.
CAUTION
• If the camera or subject move as the picture is taken,
the subject’s face may move out of the Intelligent Face
Detection frame.
• When the camera is detecting multiple faces, the green
frame is set around the face near the center. If you want
to focus on another subject, move the camera so that
the new subject is in the center of the screen.
If focus is still not achieved, press
(Intelligent Face
Detection) to turn off the function, and take the picture
using AF/AE lock (
➝
p.35).
Intelligent Face Detection can focus on a face in a white
frame providing the subjects in the green and white
frame are of the same focal length.
• Pressing the shutter button halfway with Intelligent Face
Detection off, the focus will be on the center of the
frame.
