Intelligent Face Detection

Intelligent Face Detection can distinguish human faces, and adjust their focus and brightness. It can even detect and focus on two faces on opposite sides of the frame, where ordinarily the background in the center of the frame would be focused. Intelligent Face Detection adjusts the brightness of detected faces, so faces can be captured brightly and clearly. The red-eye effect can also be corrected.
