B Notes on Subject Tracking Mode
Digital zoom is not available.
Adjust zoom position, exposure, menu settings, and flash mode prior to selecting the subject. If
any camera setting is changed after the subject has been selected, subject selection will be
canceled.
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.
In some rare cases, subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (A27) may be
out of focus despite the fact that the focus area indicator glows green. Should this occur, switch to
A (auto) mode and set AF area mode (A44) to Manual or Center, refocus on another subject
positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use focus lock
(A45).
C Functions Available in Subject Tracking Mode
