❚❚ Face/Eye-Detection AF When photographing portrait subjects with Auto-area AF, use Custom Setting a2 (Auto-area AF face/eye detection) to choose whether the camera detects both faces and eyes (face/eye-detection AF) or only faces (face-detection AF) of human portrait subjects. • If Face and eye detection on is selected and a human face is detected, a yellow border indicating the focus point will appear around the subject's face. If the camera detects the subject's eyes, the yellow focus point will instead appear over one or the other of their Focus point eyes. Face and eye detection on is enabled at all times in b (auto) mode. • Faces detected when Face detection on is selected are similarly indicated by a yellow focus point. • If AF-C is selected for focus mode, or if the camera is shooting using AF-C when AF-A is selected for focus mode, the focus point will light yellow when faces or eyes are detected. • If AF-S is selected for focus mode, or if the camera is shooting using AF-S when AF-A is selected for focus mode, the focus point will turn green when the camera focuses. • If more than one human face or eye is detected, e and f icons will appear on the focus point. You will be able to position the focus point over a different face or eye by pressing 4 or 2. • If the subject looks away after their face is detected, the focus point will move to track their motion. • During playback, you can zoom in on the face or eye used for focus by pressing J. 58 Basic Settings
