Hint
Maintaining focus on a moving eye or face (Eye AF + Tracking)
If you adjust the settings under [Face/Eye AF Set.] to focus on faces or eyes, the focusing frame will automatically move to a face
or eye when faces or eyes are detected while tracking subjects with the tracking function.
Menu item details

(Note: The camera operations are different when using the custom key to execute [Eye AF].)

Selects the target to be detected.
[Human]: Detects human faces/eyes.

Face detection frame
When the product detects a face, the gray face detection frame appears. When the product determines that autofocus is
enabled, the face detection frame turns white. Up to 8 faces of your subjects can be detected.
In case you have registered the priority order for each face using [Face Registration], the product automatically selects
the first prioritized face and the face detection frame over that face turns white. The face detection frames of other
registered faces turn reddish-purple.
Eye detection frame
A white eye detection frame appears when an eye is detected and the camera determines that autofocusing is possible,
depending on the settings.
The eye detection frame is displayed when [Subject Detection] is set to [Animal].
