Using Subject Tracking
Use this function to take pictures of moving subjects. When a subject is registered,
the camera automatically moves the focus area to track the subject. If the camera
detects a human face, it automatically registers the human face and begins
tracking that face.
1
Register a subject.
• When a face is not detected and the white border is
displayed at the center of the monitor, align the
subject with the border and press the
k button.
• When the border glows red, the camera is unable to
focus on the subject. Change the composition and try
to register the subject again.
• When the subject is registered, a yellow focus area is
displayed on that subject and the camera begins
tracking that subject.
• To deregister the subject, press the k button.
• If the camera cannot track the registered subject
anymore, the focus area will disappear and the
registration will be canceled. Register the subject again.
• When a face is detected, the camera automatically registers the face.
2
Press the shutter-release button all the way
down 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.
• If the focus area is not displayed when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway, the camera focuses
on the subject at the center of the frame.

Notes About Subject Tracking Mode
• Adjust zoom position, flash mode, exposure compensation, and menu settings prior to registering
the subject.
• Subject tracking may not be possible in certain shooting conditions.
• If the camera detects more than one face in the monitor, you cannot specify the face to register.
Do not include faces in the frame when you want to track a subject other than faces.
• Digital zoom is not available.
