Metering - Sony DSC-RX100M3 User Giude

If the camera cannot detect a person's face, you cannot use [Eye AF].
Depending on the circumstances, you cannot use [Eye AF], such as when [Focus Mode] is set to
[Continuous AF] or [Manual Focus], etc.
[Eye AF] may not function in the following situations:
When the person is wearing sunglasses.
When the front hair covers the person's eyes.
In low-light or back-lit conditions.
When the eyes are closed.
When the person is in the shade.
When the person is out of focus.
Hint
When the camera focuses on the eyes and [Smile/Face Detect.] is set to [On], a detection frame is
displayed on the face after it is displayed on the eyes. When [Smile/Face Detect.] is set to [Off], a
detection frame is displayed on the eyes for a certain time.
