If conditions prevent the face from being recognized, such as when the movement of
the subject is too rapid, the [AF Mode] setting switches to (23-area-focusing).
Under certain recording conditions, such as when the subject is small or dark, AF
Tracking may not operate correctly.
When AF Tracking does not work, focus will be on (1-area-focusing).
