G (Easy Auto) Mode

The camera automatically selects one of the following scenes when pointing the 
camera at a subject.

When G or i is displayed, the camera 
automatically selects one or more of the nine 
focus areas containing the subject closest to 
the camera.

Press the shutter-release button halfway to 
activate the focus area. When the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway, the focus 
area (up to nine areas) selected by the camera will be displayed in the monitor.

When the camera is pointed at a human face, face detection, with which the 
camera automatically detects that face and focus on it, starts. The face detection 
function is activated in the following situations.
• In G (easy auto) (A 24) mode
• In A (auto) (A 51) mode
• In Portrait (A 64) and Night portrait (A 65) scene modes
• In smart portrait mode (A 72)

• The camera may be unable to recognize faces in the following situations:

- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions

- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame

• When the frame includes more than one face, the faces detected by the camera and the face on 

which the camera focuses depend upon a variety of factors, including the direction in which the 
faces are looking.

• In some cases, including those noted in “Autofocus” (A 29), autofocus may not perform as 

expected, and the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows 
green. Should this occur, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the 
camera as the actual portrait subject (

A 46).

• G Auto mode (general use)

• g Night landscape (A 66)
