_1_ Notes on Subject Tracking

Digital zoom is not available.

Adjust zoom position, flash mode, exposure compensation, and menu settings prior to registering the subject. If any camera setting is changed after the subject has been registered, subject registration will be canceled.

It may be impossible to register the desired subject, or the camera may be unable to track the registered 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 detects a similar subject. The

camera's ability to accurately track the registered subject is also dependent upon the size and brig hmess of the subject.

When using autofocus and shooting subjects that are difficult to focus on (_ 29), the subject may not be in focus even though the focus area glows green. If the subject is not in focus, change AF area mode (_ 53) to Manual or Center in I_1 (auto) mode, and try focus lock shooting

(_ 55) by focusing on another subject that is the same distance from the camera.

There may be functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See "Camera Settings that

Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously" (_ 87) for more information.
