Focus, Continued Caution: Face/Eye-Detection AF Face/eye detection may not perform as expected if: • the subject's face is too large or small relative to the frame, • the subject's face is too brightly or dimly lit, • the subject is wearing glasses or sunglasses, • the subject's face or eyes are obscured by hair or other objects, or • the subject moves excessively during shooting. Cautions: Animal-Detection AF • Animal detection may not perform as expected if: − the subject's face is too large or small relative to the frame, − the subject's face is too brightly or dimly lit, − the subject's face or eyes are obscured by fur or the like, − the subject's face and eyes are of similar colors, or − the subject moves excessively during shooting. − The camera may display a border around subjects that are not dogs, cats, or birds but which resemble these animals. • The light from the AF-assist illuminator may adversely affect the eyes of some animals; when using animal-detection AF, select [OFF] for Custom Setting a12 [Built-in AF-assist illuminator]. Cautions: Vehicle-Detection AF • Vehicle detection may not perform as expected with subjects that are: − too large or small relative to the frame, − too bright or too dark, − partially hidden, − similar in color to surrounding objects, or − moving excessively. • The camera may fail to detect vehicles of some shapes and colors. Alternatively, it may display a border around subjects that are not vehicles. Subject Detection The performance of subject-detection may drop if either [HLG] or [N-Log] is selected for video tone mode. ■ [AF When Subject Not Detected] Choose whether the camera focuses if unable to detect a subject of the type selected for [Subject detection] when AF-F is selected for focus mode. This setting can be adjusted using [AF subject detection options] > [AF when subject not detected] in the video recording menu. ● [ON]: The camera will focus even if unable to detect a subject of the selected type. ● [OFF]: The camera will not focus if unable to detect a subject of the selected type.
