Configuring [Focus Mode] settings according to the distance between the camera and the subject allows you to take a picture without having to fine-tune the focus.Here are some examples of [Focus Mode] settings for shooting a self-portrait.
We recommend setting [Focus Mode] to [Single-shot AF] when shooting a self-portrait.
You may also find it helpful to use the [Face/Eye AF Set.] function together with the [Self-portrait/ -timer] function.

Hint
When [Focus Mode] is set to [Single-shot AF] :
When the product detects a face, the gray face detection frame appears. When the product determines that autofocus is enabled, the face detection frame turns white. Press the SHUTTER/MOVIE button halfway down to bring your face into focus. The face detection frame will turn green. Press the SHUTTER/MOVIE button fully down at this point to keep the focus fixed.
You can also enable or disable the face detection frame in the [Face Detect. Frame Disp.] settings.
MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Face/Eye AF Set.]* → [Face Detect. Frame Disp.] → desired setting item.
