 The approach of a new Sony caused me to fondle my existing camera and reconfirm all the functions it offers and the ones I need ready access to on My Menu. It’s amazing what you don’t know about your camera!! Well it’s amazing what I didnt know about my camera. 

I knew it had eye detection and that it could be configured for birds, humans & animals. What I didn’t know (I never got that far down the menus) is that you can register a face! Once you have registered a face (photographed) whenever you take a group shot with that person in the scene, the camera will recognise that person ……and give priority to their eyes for the focus point of the scene.

We’ll strike me down and call me Susan….the things you didn’t know you could do.

I tried it on a green woodpecker surrounded by pigeons. 

It only works with Humans apparently. :thumbsdown:
