Using the [Rec] menu
Focus is fixed to (1-area-focusing) in the following cases:
[Miniature Effect] in [Creative Control] mode
Use (1-area-focusing) if focus is difficult to align with (Spot-focusing).
Cannot set to (Face Detection) in the following cases:
• Scene Modes ([Panorama Shot] [Night Scenery] [Handheld Night Shot] [Food]
[Underwater])
• [Creative Control] Mode ([Soft Focus])
If the camera misinterprets a non-human subject as a face in (Face Detection)
setting, switch to another setting.
If conditions prevent the face from being recognised, such as when the movement of
the subject is too rapid, the [AF Mode] setting switches to (23-area-focusing).
Under certain recording conditions, such as when the subject is small or dark, AF
Tracking may not operate correctly.
When AF Tracking does not work, focus will be on (1-area-focusing).
Cannot set to in the following cases.
• [Panorama Shot] Scene Mode
• [B&W] and [SEPIA] in [Color Mode]
• [Creative Control] Mode ([Sepia] [Dynamic Monochrome] [High Dynamic]
[Toy Effect] [Soft Focus])
While recording motion pictures and the setting is other than (Face Detection), focus
will be on (1-area-focusing).
