Cliff S Posted February 26, 2017 Share #1 Â Posted February 26, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) So the only AF mode that lets me just point while shooting video and have it focus on whatever I point at is Auto(face detection) mode. Is this correct or is there a better option? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff S Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share #2 Â Posted February 27, 2017 So nobody uses autofocus on the SL when shooting video? Â It seems only face detection will work if I don't want to half press the shutter button every time the subject moves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted February 27, 2017 Share #3 Â Posted February 27, 2017 C-AF in still mode requires that you hold the shutter half-pressed, Â If you are on a tripod, you could try using touch-AF. Â This is an area where I would not trust the manual, but would experiment with any conceivable variation on things that work in still mode. Â Tell us what you find.

Joshua Lowe Posted February 27, 2017 Share #4  Posted February 27, 2017 I haven't used face detection but when using AFc you have to half-press the shutter.   The SL's video output is pretty nice! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff S Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share #5 Â Posted February 28, 2017 I know so the only way I get continuous auto focus without half pressing is auto(face detection) Â I'm wondering what would happen if there's a bunch of faces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
