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 person’s 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
72), the
subject may not be in focus even though the double border turns green. Should this occur, use
another mode, such as
A
(auto) mode, and try focus lock shooting (
A
71) by focusing on
another subject that is the same distance from the camera.
