More on Shooting
3 Press the shutter-release button to
take a picture.
The camera focuses on the focus area framed
by a border when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway. The focus area will glow green
and focus will be locked.
When the camera is unable to focus, the focus
area will blink. Press the shutter-release button halfway again to focus.
If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway while the focus area is not displayed, the
camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine) containing the subject closest
to the camera.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down to release the shutter.
B Notes on Subject Tracking Mode
• Adjust zoom and shooting settings (A 48) before selecting the subject. If zoom or any other
setting is adjusted after the subject has been selected, subject selection will be cancelled.
• It may be impossible to select the desired subject, or the camera may be unable to track the
selected subject or may begin tracking a different subject, if the subject is moving rapidly, if there
is a significant amount of camera shake, or if the camera recognizes a similar subject. The camera’s
ability to accurately track the selected subject is also dependent upon the size and brightness of
the subject.
• Digital zoom is not available.
• In some rare cases, shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected, the
subject may not be in focus (A31).
• There may be functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings That
cannot be Applied Simultaneously” (A 75) for more information.
C Touch Shooting Setting
The touch shooting setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after
the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
