Solution
When you set [AF Frame] to [Face AiAF], 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 AiAF].
CAUTION
- In this section, [PowerShot A3100 IS] is used as an example to explain the operations. Depending on your model, the position of buttons, screen indications, and setting items may vary.
- When the [Shooting Mode] is set to [AUTO] (
), [Easy]* (
), [Smile]* (
), [Wink Self-Timer]* (
), [Face Self-Timer] (
) or [Low Light] (
), [AF Frame] will automatically be set to [Face AiAF]; 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 [AiAF]. (From the nine AF frames, an [AF Frame] will be automatically selected to bring the image into focus.)
- The following explanations are provided based on the assumption that the [Shooting Mode] is set to [Program] (
).
- In the following shooting modes, you cannot set the [Face AiAF].
