•If the camera detects a human face, the camera automatically focuses on it. When no face is detected, the camera automatically selects one (or more) of the

9 focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera. See “Focusing on Subjects” (A57) for more information.

•The active focus area can be changed when using touch shooting. At the default setting, the shutter can be released simply by tapping a subject in the monitor (touch shutter) (A53) without pressing the shutter-release button.

The Subject tracking option, which moves the active focus area to track the registered subject, can be enabled (A53).
