Canon EOS C200B EOS C200 EOS C200B Instruction Manual - Page 87

Adjusting the Focus Face Detection When the face detection function is activated, the camera will detect people's faces. When there are a number of people in the picture, one person will be determined to be the main subject but you have the option to select a different person as the main subject. The camera will keep tracking the main subject even when it moves. You can use face detection with one of the autofocus functions to let the camera focus on the main subject 87 automatically (Face AF). You can also combine face detection with the Dual Pixel Focus Guide function (A 82) to help you focus on the main subject manually. 1 Open the [Face Detection] submenu. > [v % Camera Setup] > [Face Detection] 2 Select [On] and then press the joystick. 3 Open the [Face AF] submenu. > [v % Camera Setup] > [Face AF] 4 Select the desired option and then press the joystick. 5 Point the camera at the subject. • A face detection frame will appear around all detected faces.
