    how to you turn on the auto face detect function on a D800

    Thanks daredevil for clarifying the issue. I don't have a D800, just sharing my experiences when playing around with my friends' cameras, I got the face detect through OVF to work but am not 100% sure of the required settings.

    how to you turn on the auto face detect function on a D800

    Press and hold the AF mode button beside the lens release button and turn the rear dial until you get AF-C, and the front dial until you get Auto-Area AF. In this mode, the camera will try to focus on the nearest face in the frame through the viewfinder.
