Genuine Canon Face Detection Technology sets the focus, exposure, and flash
automatically, leaving you free to compose a group, capture an unguarded moment,
or coax the perfect smile. Plus the new Face Selector Button lets you select the
primary face.
DIGIC III features Face Detection technologies, giving the you best possible
results in any shooting situation. Face Detection AF/AE sets the focus point and
exposure for the faces of your subjects. Face Detection FE adjusts the flash to
correctly illuminate your subject to provide the best balance between your
subject and the overall scene, eliminating the common problems of over- and
underexposed faces.
Red-eye correction detects and corrects red-eye during playback. In unusual
cases where red-eye is not automatically detected, it can easily be corrected
manually during playback mode.
And new Face Selector AF enables you to lock on and follow a specific face.
The selected subject is tracked wherever the face moves in the frame. Simply
press the Face Selector Button; then the selected face is double-framed and
tracked when the face moves in the frame.
Life doesn't give you second chances to capture special times. That's why the

effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you
greater shooting flexibility.
