Subject Detection

Subject detection (Subject to Detect, Subject Detection AF*, Eye Detection, Face Detection AE, and Tracking) is available in Slow & Fast Motion recording at frame rates of 24P or higher. At frame rates in a range of 1P-150P, other AF-related functions are also available.
*At frame rates of 150P or lower.

Focusing Systems

• Dual Pixel CMOS AF(CMOS AF)
• CMOS AF detection range
  • When detecting the entire area and subject, approx. 100% (Vertical) x approx. 100% (Horizontal).
  • Otherwise approx. 100% (Vertical) x approx. 90% (Horizontal)
  • May be approx. 100% (Vertical) x approx. 80% (Horizontal), approx. 75% (Vertical) x approx. 40% (Horizontal) depending on the lens
• Applies when the AF/MF switch of an RF lens is set to AF.

AF Modes

• Continuous AF
  Used to keep continuously focused on a subject.
• One-Shot AF
  AF is performed only while the assignable button assigned to One-Shot AF is pressed. No further lens movement is permitted after focusing. Releasing the assignable button resumes continuous AF if it is enabled. When [Lens action if cannot AF] is set to [Stop] in Continuous AF mode, stop the search when distance measurement is not possible.

AF Area

• Small Zone: Video display range approx. 14.7% (Vertical) x 12.2% (Horizontal)
• Flexible Zone 1: Video display range approx. 38% (Vertical) x 26% (Horizontal)
• Flexible Zone 2: Video display range approx. 85% (Vertical) x 26% (Horizontal)
• Flexible Zone 3: Video display range approx. 38% (Vertical) x 77% (Horizontal)
• Full: approx. 100% (Vertical) x approx. 100% (Horizontal)
• The area frame can be moved,* and thickness is adjustable.
  * Only with options other than [Whole Area] and when digital zoom is off.
• Area frame resizing is available for Flexible Zone options 1-3.
• Values above are based on these conditions: [Sensor Mode]: [Full Frame]; [Main Resolution]: 4096x2160 or 2048x1080; [Electronic IS]: [Off].

AF Lock

Available.

AF Speed

With compatible lenses, the lens drive speed is configurable.

Subject to Detect

Detects the eyes, face, head, or body of people or the eyes, face, or body of animals, as set in the menu. Setting to [People] targets human subjects for detection. Momentary inability to detect eyes / face / head will cause the camera to prioritize bodies (and when these parts can be detected again, they take precedence). Setting to [Animals] targets both animals and people for detection, and if both are detected, animals are given precedence. In scenes that include multiple subjects for detection, the most fitting main subject for detection results and how the shot is composed is automatically selected. Setting to [People] with autofocus active displays a white frame on the main subject and gray frames on all other subjects detected. Setting to [Animals] only displays a white frame on the main subject out of all animals and people detected.

Subject Detection AF

Controls how AF operation changes, based on the menu setting, if targeted subjects are not detected. Setting to [Detect. Priority] performs AF for any detected main subjects set in [Subject to Detect], or if none are detected, in the specified AF area. Setting to [Detect. Only] performs continuous AF restricted to main subjects set in [Subject to Detect]. The camera keeps focusing on the last detected position of any subjects that become undetectable. Continuous AF resumes when subjects are once again detected.

Subject-Switching Sensitivity

Enables adjustment of how readily the camera switches focus from one main subject to another. Set in a range of 1-5. [1] makes the camera less likely to switch subjects, and [5] makes switching easier.

Eye Detection

Determines which eye is given precedence when two eyes are detected, as set in the menu. Setting to [Auto] targets the eye closest to the camera. If both eyes are the same distance away, the camera targets the eye closer to the center of the configured AF area. Setting to [Right Eye Priority] gives the subject's right eye precedence. Setting to [Left Eye Priority] gives the subject's left eye precedence.

Tracking

The main subject can be selected for tracking with the joystick or touch panel. Setting the AF area to [Whole Area] AF enables main subject tracking by pressing the joystick in when the camera detects the target subject set in [Subject to Detect]. The joystick can also be pressed left or right to track specific subjects if multiple subjects are detected. Subjects other than those targeted for detection can also be tracked by tapping them. Additionally, regardless of the configured AF area, any preferred subject can be tracked by tapping it or pressing the joystick after using it to move the marker, once the camera is set to tracking selection mode by pressing the assignable button assigned to tracking.

Tracking by Touch Priority

Enables touch-based tracking of any subject regardless of the configured AF area.

Track after Focusing

Enables main subjects targeted for AF to be switched with the focusing ring, when Continuous AF is enabled and this function is set to [On (Tracking Frame)] in the menu. As the focusing ring is turned, based on the focus position, an orange tracking frame is displayed on a potential subject that users can switch to, and when manual focusing stops, the potential subject by the tracking frame is tracked as the main subject. Whether or not to display tracking frames for potential subjects can be set from the menu. Without a subject in focus, no tracking frame is displayed, and the camera does not switch subjects after manual focusing. Disabling the function in the menu disables this tracking after focusing.

Exposure Control

Exposure Control Modes

• Manual
  Manual setting using shutter, iris, ISO/Gain, and ND filter.
• Push Auto Iris *
  While the Push Auto Iris button is pressed, the aperture is controlled to achieve proper exposure. If deviation from the proper exposure occurs, it takes control again.
• Auto Iris *
  Constantly adjusts automatically for proper exposure using iris.
• Auto ISO/Gain *
  Constantly adjusts automatically for proper exposure using ISO/Gain.
• Auto Shutter*
  Constantly adjusts automatically for proper exposure using Shutter.
• Other
  - AE Response can be changed in the menu.
  - Auto ISO/Gain can be used in combination with Auto Iris or Push Auto Iris.
  * Not available at recording frame rates higher than 150P in Slow & Fast Motion recording.

Metering Modes

Standard (center-weighted metering), Spotlight, Backlight
*If [EOS Standard] or [EOS Neutral] is selected in [CP File Selection], the setting value will be grayed out and cannot be selected as photometry is performed in the same way as the EOS R series. Editing the CP File (Gamma adjustment, registering another LUT as a Look File), makes it selectable.

Exposure Compensation

AE shift is available (±8 levels relative to center). Levels (EV values) are indicated numerically.

Shutter

Shutter manual mode

¹When slow & fast motion recording is activated, available setting options will vary depending on the selected shooting frame rate.
²Not available when slow & fast motion recording is activated.

Custom Picture

Photo Specifications

Recording pixel count

• Values for recorded pixels are rounded off to the nearest 100,000th.
• RAW/C-RAW images are generated in [3:2], and the set aspect ratio information is appended to the images.
• JPEG/HEIF images are generated in the set aspect ratio.
• These aspect ratios and pixel counts also apply to resizing.
¹ Angle of view of approx. 1.6 times the indicated focal length.
² Indicate an inexact proportion.

Drive System

• For details on the measurement conditions, see "22.3.1 Continuous shooting speed measurement conditions for High-speed continuous shooting + and High-speed continuous shooting".
• For details on factors that reduce maximum continuous shooting speed, see "22.3.2 Factors that reduce maximum continuous shooting speed".
• Expressed to two significant digits.
• Zooming during continuous shooting with electronic shutter may, depending on the lens, cause changes in exposure even at the same f/number. For details on relevant lenses, refer to the "OTH_03" lens list (even with zoom lenses that are not listed, sudden zooming may cause changes in exposure or flickering).
¹ Operates in mode C with a lens attached that is not in the "OTH_08" lens list.
² Continuous shooting speed decreases when flicker is detected.
