The Shooting Menus
FACE/EYE DETECTION SETTING
Intelligent Face Detection sets focus and
exposure for human faces anywhere in
the frame, preventing the camera from
focusing on the background in group
portraits. Choose for shots that empha-
size portrait subjects. Faces can be de-
tected with the camera in vertical or horizontal orientation; if a
face is detected, it will be indicated by a green border. If there is
more than one face in the frame, the camera will select the face
closest to the center; other faces are indicated by white borders.
You can also choose whether the camera detects and focuses on
eyes when Intelligent Face Detection is on. Choose from the fol-
lowing options:

In some modes, the camera may set exposure for the frame as a whole
rather than the portrait subject.
If the subject moves as the shutter button is pressed, the face may not
be in the area indicated by the green border when the picture is taken.
N
If the camera is unable to detect the subject’s eyes because they are
hidden by hair, glasses, or other objects, the camera will instead focus
on faces.
Face/eye detection options can also be accessed via shortcuts
