In addition, optimal exposure settings are automatically conducted so that the areas with faces are highlighted, even if there is backlighting. (Face Recognition AF and AE function available when the photography mode is “Portrait” or “Natural Skin Tone” and the camera is directed at people from the front.)
Helpful consumer’s review
I purchased this product because of its ease of use with the various functions being depicted on the viewing screen with a description of when they could be used. The camera is also a perfect size for my hands, as opposed to others which are often too small. I just find it perfect for my personal and professional needs, which include tracking patient treatments and progress. (I am a physical therapist.)
The camera has is even better than I expected. The images are sharp and the features are very easy to use. The camera body fits nicely in the hand and is very comfortable to hold, aim, and shoot. This is one purchase with no regrets!
