Subject Tracking Mode

BNotes on Subject Tracking Mode

•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 cancelled.

•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 shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (A27) ,

the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area indicator glows green. Should this occur, switch to auto mode and set AF area mode (A106) 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 (A107).

CFunctions Available in Subject Tracking Mode

•Digital zoom is not available.

•Flash mode (A30) and exposure compensation (A34) settings can be adjusted.

•Self-timer(A32) and macro mode (A33) cannot be used.

•The Image mode (A99) setting can be adjusted by pressing the dbutton to display the s (subject tracking) menu.

-Changes made to the image mode setting apply to all shooting modes (except those available from the movie mode).
