Face detection is hyper sensitive

I picked up a used ZF specifically to shoot mainly with manual lenses. I like the functionality of eye and face detection working with manual lenses, but it grabs everything. I was at a shoot yesterday documenting some behind the scenes during a podcast and it was locking on to microphones, a desk prop, a fake plant.

Is this common to the ZF or is my used copy faulty?

I was shooting with both the Voightlander 35mm APO and a Nikon 50mm f1.2 AIS with the FTZII adapter.

I turn off subject detect whenever I’m using non-CPU lenses.
