To suspend subject tracking

and restore the focus point

selected before tracking

started, lift your nger from

Custom Subject‑Tracking Controls

You can use Custom Setting f2 [Custom controls] to assign

[Subject tracking] to the w Fn1 or y Fn2 button on the

camera or to the SFn or 3 Fn2 button on the lens. If you

press the selected button when [Auto-area AF], [Auto-ar-

ea AF (people)], or [Auto-area AF (animals)] 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 choose a focus mode

of AF‑C and an AF-area mode of [Au-

to-area AF], [Auto-area AF (people)],

or [Auto-area AF (animals)]. 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.

To start subject-tracking AF, press

Position the focus point as desired.

Wait until the chosen focus

point is over your subject

and then either press the

shutter-release button half-

way or press the AF‑ON but-

ton: the focus point will turn

yellow and the camera will track the subject until the cho-

sen button is released. Subject tracking can also be started

by pressing

or tapping your subject in the display.
