Caution: Face/Eye-Detection AF
Face/eye detection may not perform as expected if:
• the subject’s face is too large or small relative to the frame,
• the subject’s face is too brightly or dimly lit,
• the subject is wearing glasses or sunglasses,
• the subject’s face or eyes are obscured by hair or other objects, or
• the subject moves excessively during shooting.
Cautions: Animal-Detection AF
• Animal detection may not perform as expected if:
− the subject’s face is too large or small relative to the frame,
− the subject’s face is too brightly or dimly lit,
− the subject’s face or eyes are obscured by fur or the like,
− the subject’s face and eyes are of similar colors, or
− the subject moves excessively during shooting.
− The camera may display a border around subjects that are not dogs, cats, or birds but which resemble these animals.
• The light from the AF-assist illuminator may adversely aect the eyes of some animals; when using animal-de-
tection AF, select [OFF] for Custom Setting a12 [Built‑in AF‑assist illuminator].
Cautions: Vehicle-Detection AF
• Vehicle detection may not perform as expected with subjects that are:
− too large or small relative to the frame,
− too bright or too dark,
− partially hidden,
− similar in color to surrounding objects, or
− moving excessively.
• The camera may fail to detect vehicles of some shapes and colors. Alternatively, it may display a border around
subjects that are not vehicles.
