Notes on Face Priority
•
If no face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in
Portrait
or
Night
portrait
scene mode, the camera will focus on the subject in the center focus area.
•
The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
- When the subject is not looking directly at the camera
•
The face(s) detected, and that on which the camera focuses, depend on a variety of factors,
including whether or not a particular face is looking toward the camera.
•
In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (
A
27),
the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this
occur, switch to
A
(auto) mode and shoot with the touch AF/AE function (
A
24), or set
AF area
mode
to
Center
, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as
the actual portrait subject, and use focus lock (
A
125).
Distortion Control
Specify whether or not the distortion is corrected. Enabling distortion control
reduces the size of the frame.
At settings other than
Off
, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the
monitor (
A
9).
On
Distortion at frame peripheries is corrected.
Off (default setting)
No distortion correction performed.
