frames are displayed. The frames change to white

Face Only AF:
The camera detects the faces of
subjects (people) and focuses only on their
faces. While a face is not detected, AF is
temporarily stopped (MF), and the Face Only
AF mode auto focus paused icon
is displayed. This mode is effective
when face detection has not stabilized.
Face Priority AF:
The camera detects the faces
of subjects (people) and prioritizes the
focusing on the faces. When a face is not
detected, focusing is in AF mode (default
setting).
Off:
The face detection AF function is disabled.
Notes
• During push auto focus operation, Face Priority AF is
activated even if Face Only AF is currently selected.
• Face detection AF is not available in the following
cases.
In Full MF mode
When the FOCUS switch is set to MANUAL
(excluding during push auto focus operation)
When the recording format is DVCAM
• If you turn the camcorder off while Face Only AF is
selected, the mode automatically switches to Face
Priority AF when the camcorder is next turned on.

in the LCD/VF menu.
Focusing on a registered face
During face detection AF operation, you can
register a face for a subject (person) for focusing
on that face.
Only one face can be registered. Registering a
face overwrites the existing registration.
When a face is registered, the detection frame
changes to a double frame, and the registered face
icon
is displayed.
In face detection AF, the following actions occur
depending on the combination of registered face
and face detection AF operating mode.
Face Priority AF (with registered face):
If
the camera detects the registered face, the
camera focuses on that face. If the registered
face is not detected, normal Face Priority AF
is activated.
Face Only AF (with registered face):
If the
camera detects the registered face, the
camera focuses on that face. While the
registered face is not detected, AF is
temporarily stopped (MF), and the Face Only
AF mode auto focus paused icon
is displayed. This mode is effective
when you want to auto focus on the
registered person.
