With the Optio RS1000, the Face Detection
function is available with all shooting modes.
When the camera detects a person’s face in the
image, the Face Detection function displays a
yellow face detection frame around the face on
the display screen, sets the focus (Face
Detection AF) and compensates the exposure
(Face Detection AE).
If the subject in the face detection frame
moves, the frame also moves and changes size
as it tracks the face.
The Face Detection function can detect up to
10 people’s faces. If it detects multiple faces,
the camera displays a yellow frame over the
main face and white frame(s) over the other
face(s). It can display up to a total of 10 frames,
including a main frame and white frame(s).
Using the Face Detection Function
• Face Detection AF and AE may not work if the subject is wearing
sunglasses, has part of their face covered or is not looking toward the
camera.
• If the camera cannot detect the subject's face, the camera focuses
using the setting currently selected in [Focusing Area].
• When the Smile Capture function is on, the shutter may not be
released automatically because the Smile Capture function may not
work in some situations, such as when the detected face is too small.
In this case, press the shutter release button to take the picture.
