Shooting Features
Using Face Detection
When the following shooting modes or settings are 
selected, the camera uses face detection to 
automatically focus on human faces. If the camera 
detects more than one face, a double border is 
displayed around the face that the camera will focus on, 
and single borders are displayed around the other faces.
•
When using Face priority, if you press the shutter-release button halfway while 
no faces are detected or while framing a shot with no faces in it, the camera selects 
the focus area (up to nine areas) containing the subject closest to the camera.
•When using scene auto selector, the focus area changes depending on which 
scene the camera selects.
•If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway 
when using Portrait or Night portrait, the camera will focus on the subject in 
the center of the frame.

BNotes About Face Detection•The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction in which the 
faces are looking. Additionally, 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
•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 rare cases, such as those described in “Autofocus” (A29), the subject may not be in 
focus even though the double border turns green. Should this occur, change AF area mode to 
Manual or Center in A (auto) mode, and try focus lock shooting (A78) by focusing on another 
subject that is the same distance from the camera.
BViewing Images That Were Captured Using Face Detection•During playback, the camera automatically rotates images according to the orientation of the faces 
that were detected at the time of shooting, except when viewing an image captured in a series.
•When zooming in on an image displayed full-frame by rotating the zoom control to g (i), the 
image will be enlarged so that the face that was detected at the time of shooting is displayed in 
the center of the monitor (A31), except when viewing an image captured in a series.

Shooting Features
Using Skin Softening
When the shutter is released when using one of the following shooting modes, 
the camera detects one or more human faces (up to three), and processes the 
image to soften facial skin tones before saving the image.
•Scene auto selector (A40), Portrait (A44), or Night portrait (A45) 
scene mode is selected.
Skin softening can also be applied to saved images (A80).
BNotes About Skin Softening
•It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting.
•Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be achieved, and skin 
softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces. If the desired results are 
not produced, switch to another shooting mode and then try shooting again.
