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.

[Face/Eye AF Set.] ：

This function is used to determine whether or not the camera will focus with priority on human faces or eyes.

[Self-portrait/ -timer] ：

You can change the angle of the monitor and shoot images while watching the monitor. The product starts the self-timer shooting after three seconds.

1. MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Shoot Mode] → [Intelligent Auto].
2. MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Focus Mode] → [Single-shot AF].
3. MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Face/Eye AF Set.]* → [Right/Left Eye Select] → desired setting item.
   MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Face/Eye AF Set.]* → [Face Detect. Frame Disp.] → desired setting item.
   

   *

   When the shooting mode is set to [Intelligent Auto] or [Superior Auto], [Face Priority in AF] is locked to [On].

4. MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Self-portrait/ -timer] → [On].
5. To return to the shooting screen, press the MENU button.

1. Tilt the monitor approximately 180° upward, and then point the lens at yourself.
   
2. The shortest shooting distance is approximately 20 cm (0.7 ft) (from the lens).Ensure that the camera is at least 20 cm away from your face.
3. Press the SHUTTER/MOVIE button fully down while the white detection frame is displayed.
   The face or eyes will come into focus, and the detection frame will turn green.
   Once the focus has remained fixed for three seconds, the image will be captured using the self-timer.

Configuring the [Focus Mode] settings according to the distance between the camera and the subject allows you to capture images at an ideal resolution for that distance.

1. MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Shoot Mode] → ( Intelligent Auto).

2. When distance between camera and subject is between 20 cm and 50 cm :
   MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Focus Mode] → [Single-shot AF].
   For movies, you can first set the focus before recording, and then later readjust the focus during recording by pressing the SHUTTER/MOVIE button halfway down.*
   (Set [AF-S during mov rec] to [On] in advance.)

   *

   If you are using this function from the wireless remote commander RMT-P1BT (sold separately), first set the camera to [movie recording] mode and on the RMT-P1BT slide the [MOVIE/STILL] switch to the [STILL position].

   When distance between camera and subject is between 50 cm and 1 m :
   MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Focus Mode] → [Preset Focus].
   MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [NEAR Mode in PF] → [On].
   Focuses on subjects between approximately 50 cm and 1 m from the camera.

   When distance between camera and subject is 1 m or more :
   MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Focus Mode] → [Preset Focus].
   MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [NEAR Mode in PF] → [Off].
   Focuses on subjects approximately 1 m or more from the camera.

1. Tilt the monitor approximately 180° upward, and then point the lens at yourself to check the camera monitor screen during a shoot.
   
2. Press the SHUTTER/MOVIE button to start recording.

   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.

   When the shooting mode is set to [Intelligent Auto] or [Superior Auto], [Face Priority in AF] is locked to [On].
