Subject Tracking Mode
• Digital zoom is not available.
• 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 when shooting subjects for which autofocus may not perform as expected
( A31), the subject may not appear in focus despite the fact that the focus area display glows
green. Should this occur, switch to auto mode or set AF area mode ( A90) to Manual or Center
in shooting modes A, B, C, D or M, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance
from the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use focus lock ( A31).
