Face Detection Technology
Face Detection Technology on selected models makes it easier than ever to produce superb people shots. This advanced system quickly and accurately detects faces in a scene – then optimises camera settings so that everyone looks their best.

Face Detection in Photographs
Face Detection AF/AE/FE makes several adjustments to keep faces sharp and properly exposed.

Face Detection AF: Sets the focus for the faces in your people shots – not just the closest subject

Face Detection AE: Optimises exposure for human subjects, remedying problems with backlit poses.

Face Detection FE: Guards against washed-out faces when using the camera’s flash – perfect for close-up shots in restaurants, clubs or other dimly lit locations.

Face Detection Technology is effective even when your subject is moving around or positioned a long distance away from the camera. And with the ability to detect up to 9 faces in a frame, it’s great for group photos as well as portraits.

The iSAPS advantage
What about those situations when you don’t want to focus on the people in a shot? That’s where Canon’s unique iSAPS technology comes in. iSAPS cleverly prioritises the intended subject of the photo, even if it is non-human and there are several people in the frame. Canon’s sophisticated AiAF (Artificial Intelligence Auto Focus) instantly takes over to make sure your subject stays sharp and well exposed.

Red-Eye Correction
Face Detection Technology incorporates Red-Eye Correction in playback to eliminate the unwanted effects of flash photography. Red-Eye Correction automatically removes any red-eye it detects in captured images. You can also manually remove red-eye if required. At the touch of a button, natural-looking eyes are instantly restored. You can then replace the original image or save the corrected image as a new file.

Face Detection in Movies
Available on the PowerShot S5 IS, Face Detection AF/AE optimises the focus and exposure of your subject when recording movies. The system keeps track of faces even when subjects move towards or away from the camera. It automatically corrects exposure when subjects move from light to dark areas in the scene.
