• All detected faces will have a face detection frame. The main subject will be indicated with a face detection
frame with small arrows (white in AF mode, gray in MF mode).

selected main subject more reliably.
• Push the joystick left/right to select a different person as the main subject. You can also touch another
person on the LCD screen to use the tracking function (
A

when it is difficult to keep seeing their face. When you touch a subject on the LCD, the face detection frame
will change to a white double frame

(tracking frame).

- When the shutter speed used is slower than 1/30 (59.94 Hz recordings)* or 1/25 (50.00 Hz recordings).
* Slower than 1/24 when the frame rate is set to 23.98P.
