Thank you for the question. It is a good one. The short answer is I might have mixed up some things and there isn't anything tied to P-mode.
I might have combined some facts about the
AF tracking
Quote: Auto Tracking
Working with the PENTAX Real-time Scene Analysis System, this function accurately detects the subject’s motion based on various factors including color and speed, then keeps pinpoint focus on the subject throughout the imaging process by automatically shifting the in-focus point.*
* This function is available when the camera’s AF mode is set to AF.C (Continuous AF) or AF.A (Auto Select AF).
and Scene Analyze AUTO
Quote: When using the optical viewfinder, the system is assisted by an algorithm developed through the use of deep learning artificial intelligence technology to perform more complete scene assessment. Simply by setting the camera’s mode dial to AUTO (Scene Analyze AUTO), you are assured of the best finishing touch for each image.
with the fact of the availability of face detection in LV.
I don't use tracking and face detection, thus I might be not fully aware of it's functions.
But to come back to the topic. I very much appreciate this refinement. It really gives you so much flexibility with P mode that it rarely will have to be changed. There is still the green AUTO mode. Maybe it will provide even more automation, just seeing how the granularity of the sensors for Real Time Scene Analysis got much finer.
