people.

• When you press the shutter button, the camera will focus

• During sequential shooting, face detection will work only 

at the first shot.

• Depending on the subject, the camera may not be able 

to correctly detect the face.

• This function is available only during live view.
• When using phase difference AF, the camera focuses with the AF target which is the closest
