Selecting a Shooting Mode

More on 

Sh
ooting

In the following shooting modes, when the camera is 
pointed at a person’s face, the camera detects the face 
and focuses on it. When more than one face is detected, 
the face that is focused on is framed by a double border 
indicating the active focus area, and faces outside of the 
active focus area are framed by a single border.

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

A (auto) mode, the camera automatically selects one or more of the nine focus 
areas containing the subject closest to the camera.

• When using Scene auto selector, the focus area varies depending on the 

scene mode selected by the camera.

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

the Portrait and Night portrait scene modes or in smart portrait mode, the 
camera will focus on the subject at the center of the frame.

• Tap the face framed by a single border to change the focus area to that face 

• When using subject tracking (

A 50), tap a face that was detected by the 

camera and framed by a border to begin tracking that face

• The camera may be unable to detect 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 31), 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 54).
