Notes
• Faces may not be detected depending on the
recording environment, the condition of the
subject or the settings.

some recording environments. If this happens,
set [FACE DETECTION] to [OFF].
• The face detection function will be canceled
when you use the digital zoom.

Tips
• You can assign this function to an ASSIGN
button (p. 61).
• To make it easy to detect faces, record under the
following conditions:
– Record in a moderately bright place
– Do not obscure the face with a hat, mask,
sunglasses, etc.
– Face the front of the camera
• When [FACE DETECTION] is set to [ON], you
cannot adjust shutter speed, etc. To adjust
shutter speed, etc., set [FACE DETECTION] to
[OFF] temporarily by setting the FOCUS switch
B
to MAN.
When you record movies using an E-mount
lens, you can register focal positions in
advance, and shift focus smoothly (focus
transition) between positions.
For example, you can gradually shift the
focus from foreground to background. To
prevent camera shake or transition lag
between positions, a tripod is
recommended.
