tected using Intelligent Face Detection.

N
• The face selected by the camera is indicated by a green border.
• If there is more than one face in the frame, the camera will select the
face closest to the center; other faces are indicated by white borders.
• If the selected subject leaves the frame, the camera will wait a set
time for its return and consequently the green frame may sometimes
appear in locations where no face is seen.
• Depending on shooting conditions, face selection may be suspend-
ed at the close of burst shooting.
• Faces can be detected with the camera in vertical or horizontal ori-
entation.
• If the camera is unable to detect the subject’s eyes because they are
hidden by hair, glasses, or other objects, the camera will instead focus
on faces.
• Face/eye detection options can also be accessed via shortcuts.
