halfway down, even if the subject is moving.

on the control wheel.

2. Place the target frame over the subject you want to focus on, and press .

Tracking begins.

3. Press the shutter button half way down.

The position of the subject, focus and exposure are locked.

4. Press the shutter button fully down to shoot the image.

5. To cancel the tracking focus before shooting, press

again.

Tracking a face

If you use the tracking focus function while the Face Detection function is activated, you can

select a face to be given priority and register that face with the camera. Even if the registered

face disappears from the LCD screen, when it shows up on the LCD screen again, the camera

focuses on the registered face.

When a specified face is registered in the camera memory and you use the Smile Shutter

function, the camera searches only for that face’s smile.

Notes

Tracking focus may fail to lock the focus, lose the subject or track different subject in the

following situations:

The subject moves too quickly.

The subject is too small or too large.

The subject is the same color as the background.

Under low light conditions.

Under conditions where the brightness varies.

Tracking focus is not available in the following situations:

When using the digital zoom

When [Focus] is set to [Flexible Spot AF], [Semi Manual] or [Manual Focus].

Tracking focus will automatically be canceled when the subject disappears from the screen

or has failed to be tracked. However, if the target of the tracking focus is a specified face,

the camera keeps tracking on that face even if the face disappears from the screen.

You may not be able to set some functions depending on the selected REC mode. For

details, see “Functions not available in some REC modes.” [Details]
