The Shooting Menu (A(Auto) Mode)

BNotes on Subject Tracking

•The digital zoom is not available.

•Set the zoom position, flash mode, or menu settings before registering a subject. If any of these are changed after a subject is registered, the subject will be canceled.

•During certain conditions, such as when the subject is moving quickly, when there is a large amount of camera shake, or when there are multiple subjects that look alike, the camera may not be able to register or track a subject, or the camera may track a different subject. Additionally, the subject may not be tracked properly depending on factors such as the subject’s size and brightness.

•When the camera enters standby mode (A21), the registration of the subject is canceled. To prevent this, setting a longer time for the auto off function (E78) is recommended.

•Some features cannot be used in combination with other menu settings. See “Features Not Available in Combination“ (A60) for more information.
