Press the shutter-release button to take the
picture.
• If the camera focuses on the focus area framed by the
double border when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway, the double border turns green and
the focus is locked.
• If the camera is unable to focus, the double border will
blink. Press the shutter-release button halfway again to focus.
• If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway while the double border is not
displayed, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
• Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture.

Subject Tracking Mode
• Set the zoom position, flash mode, exposure compensation, and menu before registering a
subject. If any of these are changed after a subject is registered, the subject will be canceled.
• During certain conditions, such as when the subject is moving quickly, when there is a large
amount of camera shake, or when there are multiple subjects that look alike, the camera may not
be able to register or track a subject, or the camera may track a different subject. Additionally, the
subject may not be tracked properly depending on factors such as the subject's size and
brightness.
• In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (A 29),
the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this
occur, switch to auto mode and set
AF area mode (A 104) to Manual or Center, refocus on
another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject,
and use focus lock (
A 105).
