To suspend subject tracking
and restore the focus point
selected before tracking
started, lift your nger from
the shutter-release or AF‑ON
button. If you started subject tracking by pressing
J
or
by tapping your subject in the display, you can press
J
to
suspend tracking and select the center focus point.
Custom Subject‑Tracking Controls
From camera “C” rmware version 3.00, you can use Cus-
tom Setting f2 (Custom control assignment) to assign
Subject-tracking AF to the wFn1 or yFn2 button on the
camera or to the SFn or Fn2 button on the lens. If you press
the selected button when Auto-area AF is selected for
AF-area mode, the camera will enable subject-tracking AF
and switch to a target-selection display.
For subject-tracking AF, we recom-
mend that you set focus and AF-area
mode respectively to AF‑C and Auto-
area AF. Once tracking starts, focus
will follow the subject through the
frame while the AF‑ ON button is pressed or the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway (note that the discussion in this
section applies only from camera “C” rmware version 3.00).
Before proceeding, position the fo-
cus point as desired.
To start subject tracking, wait
until the chosen focus point
is over your subject and then
either press the shutter-re-
lease button halfway or press
the AF‑ON button: the focus point will turn amber and the
camera will track the subject until the chosen button is re-
leased. Subject tracking can also be started by pressing
J
or tapping your subject in the display.
