Canon XF605 Instruction Manual - Page 79

Focus 5 Point the camera at a person. • All detected faces will have a face detection frame. The main subject will be indicated with a face detection frame with small arrows (white when autofocus is active, gray or yellow* during manual focus). If eye detection is enabled, a frame will appear on the eyes of the main subject. • Push the joystick (left/right) to select a different person as the main subject. When eye detection is enabled 79 and both eyes have been detected, you can push the joystick (left/right) to select either eye. • During continuous AF, the camera will keep focusing on the main subject's face/eyes. • If you use face detection together with the tracking function, the camera will be able to track the selected main subject more reliably. When you touch a subject on the LCD screen, tracking will be activated and the face detection frame will change to a double frame £ (tracking frame). This is better if you want to track a subject when it is difficult to keep seeing their face. * [AF-Boosted MF] within manual adjustment range. Options [Face Priority]: The camera focuses according to the AF mode currently selected. [Face Only]: The camera locks the focus.
