Thanks for the explanation.
- Segue side note, on a mirrorless camera like this, is there such a thing as a "single precision AF point" ? I thought those AF sensors cross type etc. were all a thing of the SLR past.
There are no cross type AF points, as those were part of the separate AF sensor found in DSLRs. Current mirrorless uses DPAF, which is line type only, not cross type, though much smarter than the old line type DLSR sensors on account of the processing horsepower behind them.
You can, however, tell the mirrorless camera to use a single, small area of the sensor to look for focus. Similar to a traditional DSLR. You can also do a larger point, expanded point, or area of points - again all similar to a DSLR. In these modes, it wont track the subject, but you can manually track it in servo mode like you would have on a DSLR.
In face/eye tracking mode, you can tell it to find an eye in the frame - in this mode, you won't see any focus point in the viewfinder, it will just find a face or eye and lock on and track. Or you can set it to only look for an eye under a single focus point - in this mode you'll see a box where it will look for focus, and once it finds a face or eye it will track it anywhere in the frame.
Its amazing to see it work.
