Made use of 5d Mark II’s face-detect mode

Believe it or not, I made use of the 5D Mark II’s face-detection autofocus mode last night. We invited our next-door neighbor over for dinner and after I had been taking some pictures at the candle-lit table, she decided that someone should take a picture of me. I knew she wouldn’t be able to get the autofocus right (especially since she didn’t wear her glasses) so I turned on Live View, enabled face-detect autofocus, and let her take the picture.

It worked, although the picture was still a bit blurry due to slow shutter speeds even at ISO 3200 (I should have bumped it up to 6400).

But, still, it served a purpose. I thought I would never use it.
