- 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.
• Face detection 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).
- When both focus guide frames are activated, and also the AF mode is set to [One Shot] or the lens's focus
mode is set to manual.
- When slow & fast motion recording is activated.

tracking off.

adjust those settings.
Tracking a Specific Subject

subject.

subject and then press SET.
• If the tracking failed, the I mark will turn red momentarily. Select the subject again.
• The subject selected for tracking becomes the target for autofocus functions.
