3D‑tracking
The camera tracks focus on a selected subject. This option is avail‑
able only in photo mode.
• Position the focus point over your subject and start tracking
by pressing AF‑ON or by pressing the shutter‑release button
halfway; focus will then track the selected subject as it moves
through the frame.
• To end tracking and restore the previously‑selected focus point,
release the AF‑ON or shutter‑release button.
• If the subject leaves the frame, remove your finger from the shut‑
ter‑release button and recompose the photograph with the sub‑
ject in the selected focus point.

Caution: 3D-Tracking
The camera may be unable to track subjects that are obscured by other objects or leave the frame.
