R6 - limiting AF area in video with face detection / tracking
1

I've been testing Canon R6 filming group of performers standing in two lines. I had AF locked on one of the faces. When camera lost the face (it was still there, just camera didn't recognize it) it started hunting and then switched to another face quite far away in the frame.

This hunting doesn't look good in the recording unfortunately.

Is it possible to limit area where camera is trying to focus when it loses a face it was tracking?

Or maybe there are other techniques for filming such scenes?
