A7RV - Video - Switching from Face/Eye AF to Tracking Object

Hello.

Let's say I'm following a person using Face/Eye AF, but then I want to track their hands doing an activity.  What I do is then touch the LCD or use the EVF/Touch Pad to select the hands and track. But then it quickly jumps right back to the face. I have the sensitivity to locked on and transition speed to 2 or 3. Why is it doing this?

The only way I've found to stop it is to turn off subject recognition in AF, but that takes another step which if going back and forth between face and hands makes me lose the shot. Manual focus wouldn't work here as things are moving to fast.

Is there a way to just keep the tracking on the hands until I cancel tracking (and then it goes to face/eye) or track another object? I thought that this was the way it was supposed to work.

Thanks!
