    BNotes on Face Priority
    •When  Fa ce prio rity  is selected for AF area mode, the setting will automatically switch to  Auto if 
    no face is detected when the shutte r-release button is pressed halfway.
    • I f  n o  f a c e  i s  r e c o g n i z e d  w h e n  t h e  s h u t t e r- re l e a s e  b u t to n  i s  p re s s e d  h a l f w a y  i n  t h e   Portrait or Night 
    portrait  scene modes or smile mode, the camera will focus on the subject in the center of the 
    frame.
    • The camera may be unable to detect  faces in the following situations:
    - When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
    - When the subject is not looking directly at the camera
    - When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
    • The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a  variety of factors, including whether or not the 
    subject is facing the camera.
    • In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected ( A27), 
    the subject may not be in focus despite the fact th at the double border glows green. Should this 
    occur, switch to auto mode and set AF area mode to  Manual or Center , refocus on another 
    subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use 
    focus lock ( A111).
    • Images that were taken using face priority will be rotated and displayed automatically according 
    to the orientation of the faces detected, in full-frame and thumbnail playback modes.
