Focusing on human eyes
The camera can automatically recognize faces and eyes and focus on the eyes.
The following explanation is for cases where the recognition target is human. The faces of up to 8 subjects can be
recognized.
There are two methods of focusing on eyes, with some differences between their specifications. Select the appropriate
method according to your purpose.
