9-Point Multi AF function
Entirely automatic
If you take photos using the multi-focus, the camera measures the distance from the motif with the 9-Point Multi AF function at nine different points and sets the right focusing range. In addition, all the measured areas are displayed simultaneously which were the object of the focussing procedure. This means that every picture is extremely crisply focused.

Face Detection function
The simple touch
Whether you're on holiday, at a party or spending time with your family - people are particularly popular subjects for a photo. It's a shame if faces turn out to be blurred. Practical: The Face Detection function recognises faces and automatically calculates the optimum setting for focus. Once it has recognised a face, it tracks it for as long as it remains within the image area.

Face Recognition function
Faces in focus
The EX-Z85 comes equipped with the face detection function, which identifies general faces in the picture, as well as the face recognition function. The clever function can save up to 6 faces. If several faces appear on a photo when taking a picture, the face recognition function focuses primarily on faces that have previously been saved as priorities in the family register. This enables you to set "preferences" for certain people when taking a photograph at family celebrations.
