Face detection
The camera automatically detects up to five human faces, indicated by frames on the screen. The
camera automatically focuses on the nearest face. You can also select which face to focus on by
tapping it on the screen. When you tap the camera screen, a blue frame shows which face is
selected and in focus. Face detection cannot be used for all scene types. Continuous autofocus is
on.
Touch focus
Touch a specific area on the camera screen to set the area of focus. Continuous autofocus is off.
Touch and hold the camera screen until the yellow focus frame turns blue, indicating that the focus
is set. The photo is taken when you release your finger.
