Focusing on a Moving Subject (Subject Tracking Mode)
More on Shooting
3 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.
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 focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down to release the shutter.
B Notes on Subject Tracking Mode
• Digital zoom is not available.
• Adjust zoom position, exposure, menu settings, and flash mode prior to registering the subject. If
these settings are adjusted after the subject has been registered, subject registration will be
canceled.
• It may be impossible to register the desired subject, or the camera may be unable to track the
registered 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 detects a similar subject. The
camera’s ability to accurately track the registered subject is also dependent upon the size and
brightness of the subject.
• In some rare cases, subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (A 27) may be
out of focus despite the fact that the focus area glows green. Should this occur, switch to A (auto)
mode and set AF area mode (A 46) to Manual or Center, refocus on another subject
positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject, and use focus lock
(A 47).
C Functions Available in Subject Tracking Mode
• Flash mode (A 31) and exposure compensation (A 35) settings can be adjusted.
• Self-timer (A33) and macro mode (A 34) cannot be used.
• Press the d button to display the s (subject tracking) menu and make the Image mode,
Autofocus mode, and Face priority tracking settings (A 71).
