When the camera focuses on the eyes, a detection frame is displayed over the eyes. If the focus mode is set to [Single-shot AF],
or it is set to [Automatic AF] and the subject is not moving, the detection frame over the eyes turns into the face detection frame
after a certain period of time. However, [Eye AF] remains active. The camera continues tracking the eyes unless the distance of
the subject changes.
Note
If the camera cannot detect a person's face, you cannot use [Eye AF].
