FACE DETECTION
Intelligent Face Detection allows the camera
to automatically detect human faces and set
focus and exposure for a face anywhere in
the frame for shots that emphasize portrait
subjects. Choose for group portraits (in vertical
or horizontal orientations) to prevent the camera
from focusing on the background. Intelligent
Face Detection also offers a red-eye removal
option for removing “red-eye” effects caused by
the flash.
