BNotes on Subject Tracking Mode

•Digital zoom is not available.

•Adjust zoom position and apply flash or menu settings before selecting the subject. If these settings are adjusted 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 (A 31) may be out of focus despite the fact that the focus area glows green. In this situation, focus on another subject which is at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject while the shutter- release button is pressed halfway (A 39).
