Press the shutter-release button halfway.
When a face looking toward the camera is recognized:
Camera will focus on the face surrounded by a double 
border.
• Once focus has been locked the double border will 
glow green.
• When the camera is unable to focus, the double border 
will blink. Press the shutter-release button halfway and 
try focusing again.
When shooting pictures of subjects other than people or 
framing a subject with which no face is recognized: 
Camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine) 
containing the subject closest to the camera.
• When the subject is in focus, the active focus area and
