Focusing on a Moving Subject (Subject Tracking Mode)

BNotes on Subject Tracking Mode

•Digital zoom is not available.

•Adjust zoom position, exposure, menu settings, and flash mode prior to selecting the subject. If any camera setting is changed 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 27) may be out of focus despite the fact that the focus area indicator glows green. Should this occur, switch to A(auto) mode and set AF area mode (A 44) to Manual or Center, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use focus lock (A 45).

CFunctions Available in Subject Tracking Mode

•Flash mode (A 30) and exposure compensation (A 34) settings can be adjusted.

•Self-timer(A32) and macro mode (A 33) cannot be used.

•Press the d button to display the s (subject tracking) menu and adjust Image mode and Autofocus mode (A 67).
