Switching between Focusing Modes The autofocus frame (AF frame) indicates the area used to set the focus. Select from among the following three focusing methods. (No frame) Face Detect On Off You can have the camera automatically detect the position of a face and use this data to set the focus and exposure* while shooting. In addition, the camera will meter the subject so that the face is correctly illuminated when the flash fires. If a face is not detected, shooting will take place with [On]. *Only in evaluative metering mode (p. 51). The camera detects the subject and highlights the AF frames, from 9 available points, that it will use to determine the focus. The camera focuses using the center AF frame. This is convenient for focusing on a specific part of a subject with greater certainty. 1 (Rec.) Menu [AiAF] [Face Detect]*/[On]/[Off]. See Menus and Settings (p. 23). *Default setting.
