p.1 #1 · Nikon D4 Face Detection for autofocus sports shooting

I was wondering if any of the FM'ers who have been shooting with the D4 have any feedback / review about using the AF Face Detection feature. I thought originally that it worked only in Live View mode but apparently not.

Thanks.

I think for auto focus to be best in sports you want the camera to have as little thinking/processing as possible to have quick response.

I have not used the face recognition yet on my sports shots and I really don't see a need to.

I have used it for some video that I have shot though.
