    Setting the AF frame (Set the AF frame to Face Detect)

    29-Jan-2009
    8200439300

    Solution

      When you set [AF Frame] to [Face Detect], the camera will recognize the face of the subject, and the [AF Frame] will start to follow the targeted face. This setting is useful when shooting portraits because the face can be easily brought into focus.
      This section explains the process of setting [AF Frame] to [Face Detect].
      CAUTION
      • As the actual locations of buttons / switches on cameras vary depending on the camera model, the illustrations that appear on this page may differ from your camera.
      • Screens or menu listings may differ depending on the camera model being used.
      • When the [Shooting Mode] is set to [AUTO] () or [Easy] (), [AF Frame] will automatically be set to [Face Detect]; therefore, it is not required to perform the following procedures.
      • If a face is not detected and only gray frames (no white frame) appear, the setting will change to [Center].
      • The following explanations are provided based on the assumption that the [Shooting Mode] is set to [Program AE] ().
      • In the following shooting modes, you cannot set the [Face Detect].
      - [Movies] (), [Fireworks] (), [Stitch Assist] ()

      1. Press the <Power> button on the camera.




      2. Press the <MENU> () button.




      3. The following screen appears.



      Operate the <directional buttons> to select the [Shooting] () tab.
      Operate the <directional buttons> to set [AF Frame] to [Face Detect].
      After the settings are completed, press the <MENU> () button.

      When [Face Detect] is set, the [AF Frame] will start to follow the targeted face.



      With this setting, you can easily bring the face into focus and prevent the subject from becoming out of focus during shooting.
