Peaking—to identify focus peaks
The peaking display is used to check which areas of the image are in focus. Areas in focus are denoted by accentuated outlines.
How to set/operate
1. MENU → DISPLAY SET → PEAKING → ON
2. Select the color and the level of accentuation required.
Press the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to confirm the settings.
TIPS
When the peaking level is set to high, the focused areas are easy to locate but there is also a commensurate increase in noise.
Peaking is not suitable for some types of images. For best results, use in combination with expanded focus.
Face detection—to focus automatically on faces
Face detection locates and focuses on faces within the field of view. Face detection requires an E-mount lens.
How to set/operate
1. MENU → CAMERA SET → FACE DETECTION
Use the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to position the orange frame on the priority focus face, then press the dial to confirm. The orange frame
changes to double lines to indicate that the face has been selected.
To select a different face, press the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial and repeat step 2.
Note: Face detection is disabled when using digital zoom.
TIPS
Face detection may not function correctly in some environments. For best results:
• Ensure that there is plenty of light on the subject
• Avoid obscuring the face with headwear, masks or sunglasses
• Ensure that the subject is facing the camera
