Notes About Face Detection
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the
subject is facing the camera. Additionally, the camera may be unable to detect faces in the
following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
• When the frame includes more than one face, the faces detected by the camera and the face on
which the camera focuses depend upon a variety of factors, including the direction in which the
faces are looking.
• In some rare cases, such as those described in “Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus” (
A
31), the
subject may not be in focus even though the double border turns green. If the camera does not
focus, change AF area mode to
Manual or Center in
A
(auto) mode, and try focus lock shooting
(
A
76) by focusing on another subject that is the same distance from the camera.

Viewing Images That Were Captured Using Face Detection
• During playback, the camera automatically rotates images according to the orientation of the
faces that were detected at the time of shooting (except when viewing an image captured in a
series).
• When zooming in on an image displayed full-frame by rotating the zoom control to
g
(
i
), the
image will be enlarged so that the face that was detected at the time of shooting is displayed in
the center of the monitor (
A
33; except when viewing an image captured in a series).
