Shooting Features
Subject Tracking Mode (Focusing on a Moving Subject)
Use this mode to focus on a subject that is moving when taking pictures.
When you register a subject, subject tracking begins and the focus area
automatically follows the subject.
1 Register a subject.
• When taking pictures of people:
Face priority tracking (A59) can be used to detect
a human face and then automatically register that
person as the subject to be tracked.
If the subject is not registered automatically, align the
subject that you want to register with the white border
in the center of the monitor and press the k button.
• When taking pictures of non-human subjects:
Align the subject that you want to register with the
white border in the center of the monitor and press the
k button.
If a person visible in the frame is automatically
registered, set Face priority tracking to Off and
register the desired subject again.
• When the camera is unable to focus on the subject, the border will glow red. Change
the composition and try registering the subject again.
• When the subject is registered, a yellow border (focus area) is displayed around that
subject and the camera begins tracking that subject.
• To cancel subject registration, press the k button.
• If the camera cannot track the registered subject anymore, the focus area will
disappear and the registration will be canceled. Register the subject again.
2 Press the shutter-release button to take a
picture.
• The camera focuses on the focus area when the shutter
release button is pressed halfway. The focus area will
glow green and focus will be locked.
• Press the shutter-release button all the way down to
release the shutter.
