Face/Eye Detection Fn Button on XT3

[Joan Bonnici]

Hi,  I have just got a new Fuji XT3 and have assigned Fn2 button to Eye/Face Detection.  However, when I press the Fn 2 button, I am only getting the small icon where the metering icon is supposed on the LCD.  I am not getting the choices of Face/Auto Eye/Right Eye/Left Eye or Off on the right hand side of the LCD.  What am I doing wrong please?  Would appreciate any assistance.  Thank you.

I need some help guys. Whenever I switch the eye/face detection on, (assigned to a Fn button) I am not getting the options - face on /eye off / face on/ eye auto - right or left eye priority or face/eye off. What am I doing wrong? Would appreciate your help.

I have this functionality assigned to another button. At least on my X-T30 (I don't know how it is on the X-T3) pressing this button just activates / deactivates the functionality. The specific configuration for the functionality must already be defined via menu.

You can, however, add the face selection options to the Q menu

I don't believe you're doing anything wrong, because I have the same issue. The only thing the function button allows you to do is switching face/eye recognition on of off. No more options. My X-T2 did offer the option to switch between auto eye, left eye and right eye detection, but the X-T3 sadly not (Fuji are you listening?). Now you have to dig into the menu setting to make the required settings.

Yeah, it looks like if you want to be able to quickly change that setting you'll have to assign the face/eye detection to a Q-Menu custom setting. If you do that you can scrub through the different choices. It takes a little muscle-memory to get used to. Joan do you need any help figuring the Q-Menu out?
