Wild Animals
Camera settings
Focus mode AF‑C
AF-area mode [Auto-area AF]
[Silent mode] [ON]
Auto capture settings
[Capture criteria] [Subject detection]
[Advanced: Subject detection]
[Subject type]: Animals
[Smallest]: [1]
[Timing options] [Recording time selection]: [10s]
These settings are good for photographing wild animals on trails or at watering holes or feeding
sites.
Disabling [Motion] prevents auto capture being triggered by the wind or swaying branches.
Setting the camera to record ten-second bursts on detecting the subject ensures that shooting will
continue for a fair amount of time even if the camera subsequently loses track of the subject’s
location.
Shoot in silent mode to avoid startling your subjects.
