Auto-Area AF (Animals) Face/eye-detection is also available with animal portrait subjects when [Auto-area AF (animals)] is selected. If more than one animal face or eye is detected, e and f icons will appear on the focus point, which can then be positioned over a different face or eye by pressing 4 or 2.

Notes on Animal-Detection AF Depending on shooting conditions, the camera may fail to detect the faces or eyes of some breeds or may display a border around subjects that are not the faces or eyes of dogs or cats. Animal face- and eye-detection may also not perform as expected if: • the subject's face is too large or small relative to the frame, • the subject's face is too brightly or dimly lit, • the subject's face or eyes are obscured by fur or the like, • the subject's face and eyes are of similar colors, or • the subject moves excessively during shooting. 48
