Face Detection Not Working

First: not in every mode Face detection will work. It could be you only see the bracets the camera will focus on.

to set it up:
Press the menu button in an available mode.
Press Up/Down button to select the [Functions} menu
Then press Right/OK button
Select Face detection by pressing the up / down button and press OK

Samsung has your manual online available. Just google for it.

Seems like a dirty or a bad switch altogether. With the face cover off, try spraying it with an electrical parts cleaner. If that doesn't work, replace it.

-that feature is called face detection.

-face detection: it tries to detect faces in order for the camera to give focus on faces. focuses on faces (up to 16) rather than other picture elements that might be in the foreground or background

-how to disable: remove face detection from the af mode menu

turn off the power remove the wires from the elemant and check the element with a multimeter chances are that the element has failed

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take cover off of camera. Set it face up and look directly under the zoom/capture button, there should be an slim orange wire(about a quarter inch wide) with a small black pad on the top of it. Disconnect this by pulling it up(it kind of sounds like velcro), then wait a minute and reconnect it. And it should work fine!

I'm no expert, I just took mine apart and messed with it, I think it just resets the internal memory.

Good Luck

Normal 0 A growing number of digital cameras now include a Face Recognition mode. The camera detects faces in a scene and then automatically focuses (AF) and optimizes exposure (AE) and, if needed, flash output.
The technology can be effective when taking pictures of large groups, when a person is in the distance or when the subject moves into the frame. Even if a person moves, the camera will stay focused on it and adjust exposure. It is also effective when photographing people in bright light when the LCD is difficult to see.
Some digital cameras also have a tracking function that allows the user manually give priority to a single face. This comes in handy when taking photos in a crowd, at school plays and similar function.
Face the digital camera A person’s face must be facing towards the camera for Face Recognition AF/AE to work most effectively. Like so many digital camera features, it also works best when taking photos in good light.
Face Recognition, also known as Face Priority, is typically activated when switching a camera to portrait mode or a dedicated face-detecting shooting mode. Since the technology is hardware based, it is generally faster than manually composing and locking focus and exposure on a face.
A word of caution about using face detection It’s important to note that Face Detection (FD) may be associated with a multi-point autofocus mode, where the camera, not you, determines where to focus. When a face is not detected in a scene, the camera will revert to this mode.
Many photographers find multi-point autofocus mode to be inconsistent, if not unreliable. They use Single Area focus instead to have precise control of where the camera locks focus. They only switch to FD mode when photographing people.

the 1 you have to do is select potrait mode in cam or else it dont work!!!
