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.
1
Rotate the mode dial to s (subject tracking).
The camera enters subject tracking mode and a white
border is displayed at the center of the frame.
2
Register a subject.
Align the subject with the border at the center of the
frame and press the
k button.
• The subject is registered.
• 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 double border
(focus area) is displayed around 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.
3
Press the shutter-release button to take a
picture.
The camera focuses on the focus area when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway. The focus area will
glow green and focus will be locked.
When the camera is unable to focus, the focus area will
blink. Press the shutter-release button halfway again to
focus.
If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway while the focus area is not displayed, the
camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down to release the shutter.
