Happy to help!

[@klitzen]

Thank you! I also couldn't find any tutorials on this for the d750. Will try this on my next shoot.

great video, thanks for sharing, I myself own a Nikon D750,

[@RobertoMusicHelp]

Thanks for watching!

[@sollarizo]

does this only work for video? or can it work while taking photos?

[@RobertoMusicHelp]

@@sollarizo unfortunately it's not for photos. That is a different system which does not include facial recognition.

Great video! With face recognition, does it get the eyes in focus accurately? Thank you

[@RobertoMusicHelp]

Pretty much. Of course, if you have a very shallow depth of field an the subject's face is turned a little, you might have to adjust some things, but it was pretty accurate for me.

Hi, i have a D600 and when i use AF-F with any of the focus modes, it focus for a bit and then it stops completly

[@RobertoMusicHelp]

Might be too dark? If well lit, then it could be a glitch.

thanks, man!

[@RobertoMusicHelp]

You're very welcome!

Hi - is this only possible in live view ?

[@RobertoMusicHelp]

On the D600, yes. But on the D750, it is also in the optical viewfinder. To turn it on, go to MENU > Custom Settings Menu > b4-Matrix Metering > ON Face Detection On

[@HR-wd6cw]

I believe this is only possible when LV is enabled. You can see it through the OVF probably but live-view must be active for AF-F to work. Also the facial recognition AF does not operate the same as what's found on the Z cameras (if the subject leaves the frame, it appears you have to tell it to refocus on the face whereas the newer cameras will redetect the face again if it re-enters the frame).

Hey, how accurate is the autofocus on face detect af when using a d600. I have a d610. Does it focus on the eyes too?

[@RobertoMusicHelp]

no, it does not have eye detection autofocus. only face detection.
