❚❚ Subject Tracking
When Auto-area AF is selected for AF-
area mode, pressing J enables focus
tracking. The focus point will change to a
targeting reticle; position the reticle over
the target and either press J again or
press the AF-ON button to start tracking.
The focus point will track the selected subject as it moves
through the frame. To end tracking and select the center focus
point, press J a third time. To exit subject-tracking mode, press
the W (Q) button.
If AF-C is selected for focus mode during still photography and
tracking is started using the AF-ON button or by pressing the
shutter-release button halfway, the camera will track the subject
only while the control is pressed. Releasing the control restores
the focus point selected before tracking started.
D Subject Tracking
The camera may be unable to track subjects if they move quickly, leave
the frame or are obscured by other objects, change visibly in size, color,
or brightness, or are too small, too large, too bright, too dark, or similar
in color or brightness to the background.
