1-3 Subject to Detect
You can set main subject automatic select conditions for tracking.
-
Detectable subjects
People, animals (dogs, cats, birds, horses), vehicles (motorsports [cars and motorcycles], trains, aircraft [jets and helicopters]) can be detected.
-
Detecting parts of subjects
The camera can detect multiple parts of subjects (people: eyes, face, head, body), so tracking can continue even if the subject changes position or if part of the subject is hidden.
-
Vehicle spot detection
Spot detection settings are available for detecting the helmet of four wheel/two wheel drivers/riders (unable to detect drivers inside a vehicle) as well as the cockpit of aircraft and high-speed trains.
Main Setting Points
| [Subject to detect] settings | Subject | Targets |
|---|---|---|
| People | People | Eyes, face, head, body, upper half of body |
| Animals*1 | Dogs, Cats, Birds, Horses | Eyes/Face/Entire body |
| Vehicles*2 | Motor sports (cars, motorcycles: Formula cars, GT cars, Rally cars, street motorcycles, off-road bikes) Trains (High-speed trains, limited express trains, conventional lines, and steam trains), Aircraft (Jets and helicopters) |
Overall/spot |

People
Body detection: Tracking and maintains focus even when the face or head cannot be detected due to intense movement.
Eye detection: Detection is possible even for faces in profile, when there are shadows on faces, when wearing makeup, and when the person is wearing a surgical mask. It is possible to specify left/right eye priority.
Head detection: The head is tracked in scenes where the face or eyes are not visible. This setting also enables facial detection in winter sports where subjects' faces are hidden with goggles or a mask, such as skiing and snowboarding.
Upper half of body detection: The upper half of the body is detected, covering from the head to shoulders, and lower back, enabling detection of smaller people from far away as subjects. Using information on the upper half of the body, stable tracking is possible even for complex, mixed subject scenes. -
Animals*1
Because this setting can detect parts of animals, it enables stable tracking even when there is significant movement. It is also possible to specify left/right eye priority.
-
Vehicles*2
This setting can spot detect the helmet of race car drivers and motorcycle riders, making focusing possible in situations where user selection is difficult. Spot detection for trains and aircraft is possible for the cockpit or cab window of some subjects.
*1: Depending on the subject, animals may not be detected. Even subjects that are not dogs, cats, birds, or horses may be detected as animals.
*2: Depending on the subject, vehicles may not be detected. Even subjects that are not cars, motorcycles, trains, or aircraft may be detected as vehicles.
