Face Detection Feature Of Newest Dslrs Defeating 5X Liveview

[s3igell]

From some postings on a couple of other Forums, it's been reported that there are Bugs/Limitations in some of the Newest Canon DSLRs where the Face Detection / Focus Feature has been found to block the 5x LiveView Feature which we count on.

 

Since Face Detection will likely Never be of concern when AP Imaging, can we posit a rule that Face Detection be Turned OFF for BYE (and BYN?) Usage ??  Perhaps the SDK exposes the ability for BYE to Turn OFF this Feature upon Startup (and possibly restore it upon Disconnect/Shut-Down).

You can disable it using the camera menu and that should be fine.

 

I'm always reluctant to change in-camera settings other than the obvious BULB, ISO, etc.  

 

Changing other settings have always come back with negative reviews because users forget to change it back when they use the camera for daytime photography the next day

 

Restoring camera values upon shutdown is not reliable because some settings require the camera to be in a specific configuration and this is not always the case.
