Taking front-on pictures of people (Face Detection)
Recognizes faces (up to 15 people) and adjusts exposure and focus accordingly.
AF area
Yellow:  When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the frame turns 
green when the camera is focused.
White:  Displayed when more than one face is detected. Other faces 
that are the same distance away as faces within the yellow AF 
area are also focused.
 
Cannot set to   (Face Detection) in the following cases:
 •Scene Modes ([Night Scenery] [Handheld Night Shot] [Food] [Starry Sky])
 •[Creative Control] Mode ([Miniature Effect] [Soft Focus])
 •[Panorama Shot] Mode
 
If the camera misinterprets a non-human subject as a face in   (Face Detection) 
setting, switch to another setting.
 
If conditions prevent the face from being recognized, such as when the movement of 
the subject is too rapid, the [AF Mode] setting switches to   (23-area-focusing).
