Using Auto Capture
Using Auto Capture: Workflow
The chief steps in the auto capture workflow are described below.
Ready the camera (0 19).
Ready a power source, memory card, and tripod and otherwise prepare the camera for use.
Position the camera and adjust settings (0 20).
Position the camera, frame the shot, choose a release mode, and adjust focus, exposure, and
other settings.
Select [Auto capture] in the photo shooting menu (0 22).
Choose options for [Capture criteria] (0 25).
Choose auto capture trigger criteria from among [Motion], [Distance], and [Subject detection].
You can combine any two trigger criteria, or use all three if you so desire.
[Motion] (0 26)
[Distance] (0 30)
[Subject detection] (0 32)
Choose target areas (0 35).
Choose the focus points used for subject detection when using manual focus or when selecting
[Auto-area AF] for AF-area mode. Use target-area selection to disable points in areas of the
frame that are blocked by obstacles or can otherwise be ignored to ensure reliable detection of
the desired subject.
