Notes on Subject Tracking Mode
• Digital zoom is not available.
• Adjust zoom position, flash mode, exposure compensation, and menu settings prior to registering
the subject. If any camera setting is changed after the subject has been registered, subject
registration will be canceled.
• It may be impossible to register the desired subject, or the camera may be unable to track the
registered 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 detects a similar subject. The
camera’s ability to accurately track the registered subject is also dependent upon the size and
brightness of the subject.
• When using autofocus and shooting subjects that are difficult to focus on ( A 27), the subject
may not be in focus even though the focus area glows green. If the subject is not in focus, change
AF area mode (A 50) to Manual or Center in A (auto) mode, and try focus lock shooting
(
A 51) by focusing on another subject that is the same distance from the camera.
