Choosing a Subject Type for Autofocus
The class of subjects given priority during
autofocus can be chosen using the [
AF
subject detection options
] items in the
photo shooting and video recording menus,
which offer a choice of [
Auto
], [
People
],
[
Animal
], [
Vehicle
], and [
Subject detection
off
]. The subject detected by the camera is
indicated by a focus point.
•
In the case of the video recording menu, the choice of subject is made
via [
AF subject detection options
] > [
Subject detection
]. Separate
subject types can be selected for photo and video modes.
•
Subject detection is available when [
Wide-area AF (S)
], [
Wide-area
AF (L)
], [
3D-tracking
], [
Subject-tracking AF
], or [
Auto-area AF
] is
selected for [
AF-area mode
].
•
Human faces detected by the camera when
[
People
] is selected are identified by a
border indicating the focus point. If the
camera detects the subject’s eyes, the focus
point will instead appear over one or the
other of their eyes (face/eye-detection AF). If
the subject looks away after their face is
detected, the focus point will move to track their motion.
