Taking front-on pictures of people (Face/Eye Detection)
The camera automatically detects the faces and eyes of subjects. The camera adjusts
the focus on the eye that is closer to the camera and the exposure using the face (when

] (Multi Metering)).
•The camera can detect up to 15 faces. The camera can detect only the eyes of faces to
be focused on.
When the camera recognised a face, the AF area and eye
used for focusing are displayed.
