When the camera detects a person’s face in
the image, the Face Detection function displays
a yellow face detection frame around the
face on the display screen, sets the focus
(Face Detection AF) and compensates the
exposure (Face Detection AE).
If the subject in the face detection frame moves,
the frame also moves and changes size as it
tracks the face.
The Face Detection function can recognize up
to 32 people’s faces. If it recognizes multiple
faces, the camera displays a yellow frame over
the main face and white frames over the other
faces. It can display up to a total of 31 frames,
including both the main and white frames.
