Choose U Face detec tion on  to enable face detection when 
shooting portraits with matrix metering during viewfinder

the greatest weight to a circle in the center of the frame.
 The 
diameter ( φ) of this circle can be set to 8, 12, 15, or 20 mm or to 
the average of the entire frame.
Note that when a non-CPU lens is used, the area assigned the 
greatest weight for center-weighted metering is equivalent to a 
circle with a diameter of 12 mm, regardless of the setting 
selected for  Non-CPU lens data  in the setup menu ( 0229).
