Focus
• Typical examples of subjects not correctly detected
- Faces extremely small, large, dark or bright in relation to the overall picture.
- Faces that are turned to the side, at a diagonal, partially hidden or upside-down.
- When the subject is blurred due to weather, the background, etc.
• The subject detection function cannot be used in the following cases.
- When the shutter speed used is slower than 1/30 (59.94 Hz recordings), 1/25 (50.00 Hz recordings) or 1/24
(24.00 Hz recordings or 59.94 Hz recordings with a 23.98P frame rate), except when slow & fast motion
recording mode is activated.
- When the shooting frame rate for slow & fast motion recording is lower than 24P or higher than 120P.
- When a manual focus lens is attached to the camera.
- When [Tele-converter] is enabled.
• Face detection AE cannot be used in the following cases.
- When shutter speed, ISO speed/gain and aperture are set to manual.
• The camera may mistakenly detect a subject other than the desired subject. In such case, set [Subject to
detect] to [None].
• If you set an assignable button to [Subject to detect], [Subj. detect. AF], [Eye Detection] or [Face Detection AE]
(A 123), you can press the button to adjust those settings.
Tracking a Specific Subject
You can have the camera track other moving subjects that are not faces and also combine the tracking function
with one of the autofocus functions to let the camera focus on the desired subject automatically.
To use the tracking function, you will need to set an assignable button to [Tracking] in advance.
1 Set an assignable button to [Tracking] (A 123).
2Press the assignable button.
• The subject selection mark
I
will appear on the screen.
• Press the assignable button again or the CANCEL button to end the subject selection mode.
3 Select the subject you want to track.
• Touch the desired subject on the LCD screen.
• You can press the joystick up, down, left, or right to move to the subject you want to track, and then press
SET (or press the joystick itself) to start tracking.
4 The
I
mark changes to a double frame
£
(tracking frame) and the camera will start tracking the
selected subject.
• To stop tracking the selected subject, press CANCEL.
• When the AF frame type is set to [Whole Area] or during subject tracking, you can track a subject by touching
the subject to be tracked on the LCD monitor. If [Subject to detect] is set to [People] or [Animals], you can
switch the main subject by pressing the joystick left or right and start tracking. In this case, no frame will be
displayed for subjects other than the main subject (even if set to [People]).
• The camera may start tracking the incorrect subject if there is another subject in the picture with similar color/
pattern characteristics. In that case, select the desired subject again.
• Tracking cannot be used in the same cases in which the subject detection function cannot be used.
