Face detection & Camera remote (Non functional)

[zenith]

Hi All,

New here, apologies if this has been raised in a thread already. 

It appears face detection does not work when using the remote app on my mobile.

I set everything up on my XT-20 and ran a few manual test shots on my Girlfriend. All works fine. Activate wireless comms and connect to the camera remote app and no face detection at all. 

Checked the images on the rear screen and it shows the "Face detected" tag on the normal shots, but not those taken remotely. These are out of focus if not quite central.

 

Tried with various settings: point, zone, wide and in single shot vs continuous. No joy. 

 

Seems like a big oversight on Fuji's part. Is there a good reason for this? Am I missing something? Is there a way to put in a feature request to Fuji to have this added in an upgrade?

 

Any insight would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.
