If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is

around the other faces.
If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera
focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.

Notes About Face Detection

The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction in
which the faces are looking.
•
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
