Disable Face Tracking / Smoothing

[mgilden]

This is a great way to push the limits of the A5100 and make it easier to use alongside my more expensive cameras!
Are you interested in enhancing the UI for video recording as well? There's one thing I can't work around that has been driving me nuts for months (actually more like years, since owning this camera): When recording video, skin smoothing comes on even if turned off. The solution has been to disable face tracking, but that only works when the record button is pressed. For some reason, until the recording session starts, the smoothing bug stays on, even if skin smoothing and face tracking is disabled!
Since the A5100 overheats quickly, I've been using the HDMI out to record to an Atmos Ninja, and it works well as a B-cam for recording school plays and what not (can record for hours without overheating).
Problem is, when using the HDMI output to record, since the rec button never gets pressed, we are stuck with waxy skin on all the recordings. It is very annoying. I wish there was a way to make the camera keep that feature off for good! Any chance your app can help with this?
