Focusing on a Moving Subject (Subject Tracking Mode)

Shooting on More

Shooting in Subject Tracking Menu

The following options can be applied in the subject tracking menu.

Press the dbutton (A10) in subject tracking mode (A66) to display the subject tracking menu and use the multi selector (A9) to modify and apply settings.

Image mode

Allows you to set Image mode (A37).

Changes made to the image mode setting apply to all shooting modes (except movie recording).

Autofocus mode

Allows you to set the Autofocus mode (A48) used for subject tracking mode (the default setting is Full-time AF).

When using subject tracking mode while set to Full-time AF, the camera continuously focuses once a subject is registered for subject tracking until the shutter-release button is pressed halfway to lock the focus. The sound of the camera focusing will be heard.

Changes made to the autofocus mode setting in this mode will not be applied to the autofocus mode setting in the A(auto) mode. The autofocus mode setting applied in the subject tracking mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the camera is turned off.
