It can even detect and focus on two faces on opposite sides of the frame, where ordinarily the background in the center of the frame would be focused. Intelligent Face Detection adjusts the brightness of detected faces, so faces can be captured brightly and clearly. The red-eye effect can also be corrected. ISO AUTO(400) AUTO(400) Dynamic Range Shooting with wide dynamic range can produce an image with rich shadow and highlight detail, by suppressing white flaring and black patches in scenes. [AUTO], [100%], [200%] and [400%] can be selected for the scene being shot. Dynamic Range 100% 12/ 31/ 12 31 2050 10: 10 00 AM Dynamic Range 400% See page 69 for how to use this function. You can display and enlarge faces in images when playing back the images shot using the Intelligent Face Detection function. See page 32 for how to use this function. 14 Charging the Battery The battery is not fully charged at shipment and must be fully charged before being used.
