A6500 4K movie mode - why is face detect not available?


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

Just bought a Sony a6500 using native 10-18mm and 35mm f1.8 OSS lenses. In movie mode using constant auto-focus why can't I access face detect when shooting 4K? The following message appears on the face detect option in the menu "this operation or setting not available as follows - shoot mode manual exposure" I have to 'trick' the camera by selecting XAVC-S HD then turning face detect on then switching to XAVC-S 4K.

 

This works intermittently - sometimes face detect will grey out using this method.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Many thanks in advance.
