In the following shooting modes, the camera 
uses face detection to automatically focus on 
human faces. 

• x (scene auto selector) mode (A34)

• S (night portrait) mode (A35)

• Portrait scene mode (A33)

• Smart portrait mode (A40)

• When AF area mode (A57) in A (auto) 

A31) is set to Face priority.

If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is displayed around 
the face that the camera focuses on, and single borders are displayed around 
the other faces.

If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway when no faces are detected:

• In x (scene auto selector) mode, the focus area changes depending on the 

scene.

• In S (night portrait) mode, Portrait scene mode or smart portrait mode, 

the camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.

• In A (auto) mode, the camera selects the focus area containing the subject 

closest to the camera.

• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the 

direction in which the faces are looking.

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

- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed

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

C

When AF area mode (

A75) in the movie menu is set to Face priority, the camera 

focuses on human faces during movie recording.
If the 

b (e movie-record) button is pressed when no faces are detected, the 

camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.
