•If the camera detects a human face, the camera automatically focuses on it (see “Face Detection” (A65) for more information).

•When no face is detected, the camera automatically selects one (or more) of the

nine focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus area that is selected glows green (up to nine areas).

•At the default setting, the shutter can be

released by simply tapping a subject in the monitor (A38) without pressing the shutter-release button.

The Touch shutter option can be changed to the Touch AF/AE option, which allows the camera to set the focus and exposure on the subject that is tapped on the monitor (touch shutter) (A38). When using the Touch AF/AE option, the picture is taken by pressing the shutter-release button.

•The Subject tracking option, which moves the active focus area to track the registered subject, can be enabled (A38).
