PERSON DETECTION (FACE DETECTION)

Person detection is an expansion of the face detection feature. In
addition to biometric patterns of faces, the camera also detects
body patterns and uses them for focusing. Tracking will therefore
continue, once a person is detected and measured, even if the face
may not be in view at some point. This feature prevents inadvertent
"jumps" to other faces if several persons are in the frame.
When face detection detects an eye, the focus will be on that eye.

SPEED
Where objects are not as fast-moving, it is advisable to set AF
Speed to a slightly lower value. This will prevent overly abrupt focus
changes. For very fast-moving objects, a high setting will guarantee
a correct focus.
