Using the [Rec] menu

Focus is fixed to (1-area-focusing) in the following cases:

[High Speed Video] scene mode

[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 recognized, 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

(23-area-focusing).

• [Panorama Shot] Scene Mode

 

• [B&W] and [SEPIA] in [Color Mode]

 

• [Creative Control] Mode ([Sepia] [Dynamic Monochrome] [High Dynamic] [Toy Effect] [Soft Focus])

When (23-area-focusing) or (Spot-focusing) is set, the [AF Mode] setting at the time of motion picture recording switches to (1-area-focusing).
