In AF-A and AF-( autofocus modes, user selects focus point using multi selector.
If user changes composition after focusing, camera uses 3D-tracking to
select new focus point and keep focus locked on original subject while
shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. Use to recompose
[3D] 3D-tracking photographs while shooting relatively static subjects. If subject leaves
(11 points)
viewfinder, remove your finger from shutter-release button and
recompose photograph
with subject in selected focus point. In AF-S
autofocus mode, user selects focus point manually; camera focuses on
subject in selected focus
point only.
•
3D-tracking (11 Points)
When
the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the colors in the area surrounding the
focus
point are stored in the camera. Consequently 3D-tracking may not produce the desired
results
with subjects that are the same color as the background.
