• In certain cases, faces may not be detected correctly. Typical examples include:
- Faces extremely small, large, dark or bright in relation to the overall picture.
- Faces that are turned to the side, at a diagonal or partially hidden.
• Face AF cannot be used when the shutter speed is slower than 1/30 (1/24 if the frame rate is 23.98P) for
59.94 Hz recordings or slower than 1/25 for 50.00 Hz recordings.

detection options.
