Focusing on human eyes
The camera can automatically detect faces and eyes and focus on the eyes (Eye AF). The following explanation is for
cases where the detection target is human. The faces of up to 8 subjects can be detected.
There are two methods for performing [Eye AF], with some differences between their specifications. Select the
appropriate method according to your purpose.
[Eye AF] by custom key
The Eye AF function can be used by assigning [Eye AF] to a custom key. The camera can focus on eyes as long as you
are pressing the key. This is useful when you want to temporarily apply the Eye AF function to the entire screen
regardless of the setting for [
Focus Area].
The camera does not focus automatically if no faces or eyes are detected.
