Face Detect Menu The Face Detect feature when set to „On‟ allows the camera to use a subject‟s face as the basis for balancing the other colors and focus in the camera‟s display. This feature is meant to ensure that the color and focus of your pictures will be consistently sharp and high-quality. To properly use the Face Detect option, please ensure the following:  Anti-Shake - Ensure that the Anti-Shake option is set to „On‟. The Anti-Shake option is „On‟ by default when you start using your camera and assists you in properly focusing the image.  Distance from the camera - The subject‟s face must be no further than 8 to 9 feet (3.5 meters) from the camera and the face must cover at least 20% (1 / 5th) of the picture as „seen‟ on the LCD screen.  Facing the camera - The face of the subject(s) you are photographing must be facing the camera and must hold the pose for at least 4 to 5 seconds until the green square(s) appears around the subject‟s face. Face Detect will not work with a side shot of the subject‟s head. 1. Press the MENU button to open the menus for the current mode. 2.
