I might not be understanding what you describe, but I have noticed Eye AF will pick up eyes again immediately once the face turns back into view (it's quite good at this). Given that specific group scene, I probably wouldn't be in Eye/Face tracking - maybe Wide Area Eye/Face, but it really depends on what's in the frame. I'd likely just pop into Subject Tracking (Fn2 on my setup) and easily target the face / moving head I want it to stick with. Single Point, or Wide Area Small as well.I've had a similar experience with people. If you are photographing a line of people from the side and one person looks away (now in profile), then there is no longer an eye box, or even a face box, and there's no way to pick them up again without turning off eye focus. Happens in the case of photographing musicians in a line on stage. You can lose a decisive moment when this happen. Cartier-Bresson never had to deal with this!
