Focusing on a Moving Subject (Subject Tracking Mode)
Use this mode to take pictures of moving subjects. By registering a subject, the
camera can move the focus area automatically to track the subject.
At the default setting, once the camera detects a person’s face it will automatically
begin tracking that person (face priority tracking).
1
Press the A button in shooting
mode, press the multi selector H
or I to select s, and press the
k button.
The camera enters subject tracking mode
and a white border is displayed at the
center of the frame.
The flash mode (
A 30) is set to W (off) (the setting can be changed).
2
Register a subject.
When the camera detects a face in the frame, that face is
automatically registered as the subject to be tracked
(
When shooting non-human subjects, etc., while the
white border is displayed in the center of the monitor,
align the subject with that border and press the
k
button.
When the camera is unable to focus on the subject, the
border will glow red. Change the composition and try
registering the subject again.
When the subject is registered, a yellow border (focus
area) is displayed around that subject and the camera
begins tracking that subject.
To change the subject, press the
k button to deregister the current subject.
If the camera cannot track the registered subject anymore, the focus area will disappear
and the registration will be canceled. Register the subject again.
