Tips for Best Face Detection Results
• The camera performs center focus if it cannot detect a face.
• Always make sure that Auto Focus (AF) is selected as the focus mode when 
shooting with face detection.
• Detection of the following types of faces is not supported.
– A face that is obstructed by hair, sunglasses, a hat, etc., or a face in dark shade
– A profile or a face that is at an angle
– A face that is very far away and small, or very close and large
– A face in an area that is very dark
– A face of a pet or some other non-human subject
IMPORTANT!
• Face detection cannot be used in combination with any of the following features.
– Some BEST SHOT scenes (Digital Panning, Move Out CS, Move In CS, Multi-
motion Image)
– YouTube
– Prerecord (Movie)
– Movie Mode
– High-speed CS with Prerecord (Still image)
•@ (Focus) is disabled while face detection is turned on.
Procedure
[r] (REC) * [MENU] * REC Tab * Continuous AF
When shooting a snapshot while “On” is selected for Continuous AF, Auto Focus is 
performed and focusing is continually updated until you half-press the shutter button.
• Continuous Auto Focus is performed during movie recording when optical zoom is 
turned on while “HD/STD” is selected as the movie mode, regardless of the current 
Continuous AF setting. If optical zoom is turned off, continuous Auto Focus is not 
performed during movie recording, regardless of the current Continuous AF setting.
• Before you half-press the shutter button, the camera focuses at the center of the 
screen. If “— Free” is selected for the “AF Area” setting (page 41) when you half-
press the shutter button, focusing is performed for the area specified by “— Free”. 
If “Face Detection” is turned on, focusing is performed in the area where a face is 
detected.

Procedure
[r] (REC) * [MENU] * Quality Tab * Flash Intensity
You can specify flash intensity to one of 13 levels from +2 (brightest flash) to –2 (least 
bright flash).
• Flash intensity may not change when the subject is too far away or too close.
Procedure
[r] (REC) * [MENU] * Quality Tab * Flash Assist
The subject in an image will look 
too dark if flash intensity is not 
enough to reach a subject that is 
too far away. When this happens, 
you can use flash assist to 
supplement the brightness of the 
subject so it appears as if flash 
illumination was sufficient. Select 
“Auto” to turn on Flash Assist.
Flash Assist may not produce the 
desired result if you use it after changing the initial default settings of any of the 
following.
