The Face Detection indicator (
) and Face Detection frame (
)
are not recorded.
When Face Detection frames a face, it also adjusts the focus and
exposure to optimal values for that face automatically.
Face Detection may not operate depending on the recording
conditions. For example, the Face Detection frame may appear on a
'face-like' shape, even when the subject is not a person's face. If this
occurs, turn off the Face Detection function.
The Face Detection frame will not work on the side of a person's
face or if the illumination is too low. You must be facing subjects
‘head-on’ and have enough illumination.
You can also set the face detection with the shortcut menu.
