Notes on 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
subject is facing.
• In some rare cases, such as those described in “Autofocus” (
A
64), the subject may not be in focus
even though the double border turns green. If the camera does not focus, try “Focus Lock” (
A
63).
