❚❚ Face/Eye-Detection AF When photographing portrait subjects with Auto-area AF, use Custom Setting a4 (Auto-area AF face/eye detection) to choose whether the camera detects both faces and eyes (face/eye-detection AF) or only faces (face-detection AF). If Face and eye detection on is selected and a portrait subject is detected, an amber border indicating the focus point will appear around the subject's face or, if the camera detects the subject's eyes, one or the other of their eyes (face/eye- Focus point detection AF). Faces detected when Face detection on is selected are similarly indicated by an amber focus point. If AF-C is selected for focus mode, the focus point will light amber when faces or eyes are detected, while if AF-S is selected, the focus point will turn green when the camera focuses. If more than one portrait subject or more than one eye is detected, e and f icons will appear on the focus point, and you will be able to position the focus point over a different face or eye by pressing 4 or 2. If the subject looks away after their face is detected, the focus point will move to track their motion. During playback, you can zoom in on the face or eye used for focus by pressing J. D Face/Eye-Detection AF Eye detection is not available in movie mode. Eye and face detection may not perform as expected if: • the subject's face occupies a very large or very small proportion of the frame, • the subject's face is lit too brightly or too poorly, • the subject is wearing glasses or sunglasses, • the subject's face or eyes are obscured by hair or other objects, or • the subject moves excessively during shooting.
