Adjusting the Constant Face Display Size
 
When   Auto is on, press the [ ][ ] 
buttons to choose the desired option.
 
The camera zooms automatically to keep 
faces at the specified size.
Auto
Auto zoom to prevent subjects from moving off the 
screen.
When multiple faces are detected, the camera zooms 
to keep these subjects on the screen.
Face
Keep faces large enough to show facial expressions 
clearly.
Upper Body
Keep faces small enough to show the person’s upper 
body.
Whole Body
Keep faces small enough to show the person’s entire 
body.
Manual
Keep faces at the size specified by moving the zoom 
lever. Release the zoom lever once the desired size 
has been obtained.
 
The face size can also be adjusted in MENU (= 29) > [
tab > [
 Auto Settings] > [
 Auto Zoom]. You can choose [Off] 
to deactivate this feature and use only the feature described in 
“Easily Reacquiring Subjects with Auto Zooming (Seek Assist)” 
(= 42).
 
You can zoom in or out with the zoom lever when [Face], [Upper 
Body], or [Whole Body] is selected, but the original zoom factor 
will be restored in a few seconds after you release the lever.
 
You can clear your specified face size during movie recording by 
pressing the [
] button.
 
Face sizes cannot be changed during movie recording.
Shoot.
 
Auto zooming continues even after you 
shoot, and the frames are still displayed.
 
To cancel auto zooming, press the [ ] 
button again. [  Auto: Off] is displayed.
 
A face may not be displayed at a constant size relative to the 
screen at some zoom factors, or if the person’s head is tilted or 
facing the camera indirectly.
 
During movie recording, a changed zoom factor and camera 
operating sounds are recorded.
 
When 
 Auto is on, some shooting information is not displayed, 
and some shooting settings cannot be configured.
 
Auto zooming to keep multiple subjects on the screen is not 
performed during movie recording, even if faces are detected.
 
Auto zooming is not performed during continuous shooting.
 
If multiple faces are detected in step 1, you can switch the main 
face used for auto zooming by pressing the [ ] button.
 
When a detected subject moves toward the edge of the screen, 
the camera zooms out to keep the subject on the screen.
 
The zoom factor cannot be changed after you press the shutter 
button all the way down in self-timer mode (= 43).
 
The camera prioritizes zooming to keep subjects on the screen. 
For this reason, it may not be possible to maintain a constant 
face display size, depending on subject movement and shooting 
conditions.
 
When no face is detected, the camera zooms to a certain level 
and stops zooming until a face is detected.
