More free-form experimentation to determine what factors affect Nikon Z6/Z7's Eye/Face Detect AF feature. In this video I experiment with rotation, face size, tracking movement, and various types of distortion.

0:00 - Rotation
0:54 - Face Size
2:19 - Tracking Movement
2:59 - Distorted (Warp)
5:17 - Distorted (Perspective)

• Red outline means no face or eyes or detected
• Large yellow outline means a face is detected but not eyes
• Small yellow outlines means an eye is detected
• Alternating between a small and large yellow box means the camera is intermittently detecting eyes vs face
