(Note: When you try to focus on eyes by pressing the shutter button
halfway down, the camera only detects faces or eyes inside or around the
focus area designated with [

Point the camera at the face of a human, and press the key
to which you have assigned the [Eye AF] function.
To shoot a still image, press the shutter button while pressing the key.
To focus on the eyes of an animal or a bird
Set [ Face/Eye Subject] to [Animal] or [Bird] before shooting.
If the detection target is an animal or a bird, eyes can be detected only
when shooting still images. Faces of animals and birds are not detected.
Note
• The [Eye AF] function may not function very well in the following situations:
– When the person is wearing sunglasses.
– When the front hair covers the person’s eyes.
– In low-light or back-lit conditions.
– When the eyes are closed.
– When the subject is in the shade.
– When the subject is out of focus.
– When the subject is moving too much.
There are also other situations in which it may not be possible to focus on the
eyes.
• When the camera cannot focus on human eyes, it will detect and focus on
the face instead. The camera cannot focus on eyes when no human faces are
detected.
• The camera may not detect faces at all or may accidentally detect other
objects as faces in some conditions.
