Selecting the AF Method Tapping a Face for Focus Tapping a face or subject to focus on changes the AF point to < > and focuses where you tap. Even if the face or subject moves on the screen, the AF point < > moves to track it. ooIf the subject's face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be possible. Adjust the focus manually (=214) so that the face can be detected, then perform AF. ooAn object other than a human face may be detected as a face. ooFace detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the picture, too bright or too dark, or partially hidden. ooAF cannot detect subjects or people's faces at the edges of the screen. Recompose the shot to center the subject or bring the subject closer to the center. ooThe may cover only a part of the face, not the whole face. ooThe size of the AF point changes depending on the subject.
