depending on the shooting mode. Here, we will explain how to use focus areas and focus lock. Using Face Detection In the following shooting modes, 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. 1 If the camera detects both people and pets in the same shot, the camera can detect up to 12 faces. 2 If the camera detects a human face and a pet face in the same shot, it focuses on the pet’s face. Shooting mode Number of faces that can be detected Focus area (double border) When AF area mode (A68) in A (auto) mode (A38) is set to Face priority. Up to 12 The face closest to the camera Scene auto selector (A41), Portrait (A41), or Night portrait (A42) scene mode Pet portrait scene mode (when Pet portrait auto release is turned off) (A48) Up to 121 The face closest to the camera2 Smart portrait mode (A53) Up to 3 The face closest to the center of the frame 890 890 25m 0s 25m 0s

- In A (auto) mode, the camera selects one or more of the nine focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera. - When Scene auto selector is selected, the focus area changes depending on which scene the camera selects. - In Portrait and Night portrait scene modes or in smart portrait mode, the camera will focus on the area in the center of the frame. - In Pet portrait scene mode, the camera focuses on a pet face if one is detected. If no pet faces are detected, the camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame. • You may hear the sound of the camera focusing. B Notes 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 “Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus” (A76), the subject may not be in focus even though the double border turns green. If the camera does not focus, try focus lock shooting (A77).

When AF area mode (A68) in A (auto) mode is set to Target finding AF, the camera focuses in the manner described below when you press the shutter-release button halfway. • If the camera detects the main subject, it focuses on that subject. When the subject is in focus, the focus areas (up to three areas) that match up with the size of the subject light in green. When human faces are detected, the camera automatically sets focus priority on one of them. • If the camera does not detect the main subject, it automatically selects one or more of the nine focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus areas that are in focus (up to nine areas) light in green. B Notes About Target Finding AF • Depending on shooting conditions, the subject that the camera determines to be the main subject may vary. • When White balance is set to any setting other than Auto, the camera does not detect the main subject. • The camera may not detect the main subject appropriately in the following situations: - When the image shown in the monitor is very dark or bright - When the main subject lacks clearly defined colors - When the shot is framed so that the main subject is at the edge of the monitor - When the main subject is composed of a repeating pattern F3.5 F3.5 1/250 1/250 Focus areas F3.5 F3.5 1/250 1/250 Focus areas

The camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator glows green: • Subject is very dark • Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun behind the subject makes that subject appear very dark) • No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject wearing a white shirt is standing in front of a white wall) • Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage) • Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple rows of similarly shaped windows, etc.) • Subject is moving rapidly In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several times, or focus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual desired subject, and use focus lock (A77).

mode. The following procedure describes how to use focus lock when using A (auto) mode with AF area mode (A68) set to Center. 1 Position the subject in the center of the frame. 2 Press the shutter-release button halfway. • Confirm that the focus area glows green. • Focus and exposure are locked. 3 Continue holding down the shutter-release button halfway and recompose the image. • Be sure to maintain the same distance between the camera and the subject while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. 4 Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the image.
