Notes on Face Priority Tracking
• Only one subject can be tracked. If the camera detects multiple faces at the same time, the face
nearest the center of the frame is tracked.
• Depending on shooting conditions, such as whether or not the subject is facing the camera, faces
may not be detected properly.
➝ Notes on Face Priority (A 107)
• When the subject you want to focus on cannot be tracked, press the k button to track again, or
set
Face priority tracking to Off, frame the picture so that the subject is inside the single border
in the center of the frame, and press the k button to register the subject again.
Image mode
Allows you to set
Image mode (A 96).
Changes made to the image mode setting apply to all shooting modes (except
movie mode).
Autofocus mode
Allows you to set the
Autofocus mode (A 108) used for subject tracking mode
(the default setting is
Full-time AF).
When using subject tracking mode while set to
Full-time AF, the camera
continuously focuses once a subject is selected for subject tracking until the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway to lock the focus. The sound of the camera
focusing will be heard.
Changes made to the autofocus mode setting in this mode will not be applied to
the autofocus mode setting in the auto shooting mode. The autofocus mode
setting applied in subject tracking mode is stored in the camera’s memory even
after the camera is turned off.
Face priority tracking
When
On is selected (default setting), if the camera detects a subject’s skin, that
subject is automatically registered as the subject to be tracked, and subject tracking
begins tracking that subject.
