Intelligent Face Detection sets focus and exposure for human faces anywhere in the frame, preventing the camera from focusing on the background in group portraits. Choose for shots that empha-size portrait subjects. You can also choose whether the camera detects and focuses on eyes when Intelligent Face Detection is on. Choose from the following options:

Option	Description
FACE OWEYE OFF	Intelligent Face Detection only.
FACE ON/EYE AUTO	The camera automatically chooses which eye to focus on

when a face is detected.
FACE ON/RIGHT EYE PRIORITY| The camera focuses on the right eye of subjects detected using Intelligent Face Detection.
FACE ON/LEFT EYE PRIORITY| The camera focuses on the left eye of subjects detected using Intelligent Face Detection.
FACE-OFF/EYE OFF| Intelligent Face Detection and eye priority off.

If the subject moves as the shutter button is pressed, the face may not be in the area indicated by the green border when the picture is taken.
In some modes, the camera may set the exposure for the frame as a whole rather than the portrait subject.
The face selected by the camera is indicated by a green border.
If there is more than one face in the frame, the camera will select the face closest to the center; other faces are indicated by white borders.
If the selected subject leaves the frame, the camera will wait a set time for its return and consequently, the green frame may sometimes appear in locations where no face is seen.
Depending on shooting conditions, face selection may be suspended at the close of burst shooting.
Faces can be detected with the camera in vertical or horizontal orientation.
If the camera is unable to detect the subject’s eyes because they are hidden by hair, glasses, or other objects, the camera will instead focus on faces.
Face/eye detection options can also be accessed via shortcuts.
