C-AF Center Target Priority (K C-AF Center Priority) When focusing using group-target AF in [C-AF] and [C-AFb] modes, the camera always assigns priority to the center target in the selected group for a repeated series of focus operations. Only if the camera is unable to focus using the center focus target will it focus using the surrounding targets in the selected focus group. This helps you track subjects that are moving quickly but relatively predictably. Center priority is recommended in most situations.
Tracking Focus on Selected Subjects (K Tracking Subject) The camera can detect and track subjects of specific types when focusing using [C-AF+TR] or [C-AF+TRb]. You may find it hard to focus on the driver or cockpit of a fast-moving subject such as a race car or airplane. This feature detects and focuses specific elements of such subjects. Motorsports The camera detects cars or motorcycles. It tracks focus on such elements as the chassis (chiefly of types used in motor sports) or driver.
6 To use this feature, select [C-AF+TR] or [C-AF+TRb] for [K AF Mode]. • The focus mode can be selected using the menus or LV super control panel.

7 Technical Notes This chapter covers such topics as camera maintenance and provides a list of default settings that you can refer to while using the camera.
7-1 Storage and Maintenance Cleaning Before cleaning the camera, turn it off and remove the batteries. • Never use chemically-treated dust cloths or strong solvents such as benzine or alcohol. Camera Exterior • Gently clean the exterior with a soft cloth. To remove stubborn stains, use a cloth that has been moistened in a solution of water and neutral detergent and then thoroughly wrung out. The camera should then be dried carefully using a dry cloth.
Cleaning and Checking the Image Sensor In addition to a design that prevents dust accumulating on the image sensor, the camera is equipped with a dust-reduction feature that vibrates the sensor at high frequencies to remove dust from its front surface. Dust reduction is performed automatically when the camera is turned on. Dust reduction is also performed during pixel mapping, which is used to check the image sensor and image processing circuits.
7-2 Troubleshooting The camera does not turn on. The batteries are not charged. • Charge the batteries in the battery charger. Cold temperatures have caused a temporary drop in battery performance. • Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Resume use after warming the batteries slightly by removing them from the camera and placing them in your pocket or other warm location. No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed. The camera has turned off automatically.
The camera is unable to focus. • The camera may be unable to focus (and the monitor in-focus indicator may flash) if the subject is too close or unsuited to autofocus. Move away from your subject or focus on a high-contrast object at the same distance from the camera and recompose the shot using focus lock. Subjects Unsuited to Autofocus The camera may be unable to focus in the following situations.
Settings have been reset. Settings adjusted in custom modes (modes C1–C4) will be reset to saved values when another shooting mode is selected or the camera is turned off. Pictures look “washed out”. This may occur in pictures of subjects that are back-lit or partially back-lit. It is the result of phenomena known as “flare” and “ghosting”. Keep bright light sources out of the frame as much as possible. Flare may occur even when the frame does not contain a light source.

This may cause exploding, overheating, or burning.
• Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on the image pickup device, or may possibly cause fires. • Do not leave the viewfinder exposed to a strong light source or direct sunlight. The heat may damage the viewfinder. • Do not push or pull severely on the lens. • Be sure to remove any water droplets or other moisture from the product before replacing the battery or opening or closing covers.
• Electronic compass errors may be caused by the effects of strong magnetic or electrical fields (such as televisions, microwaves, large motors, radio towers and high-voltage lines). To restore the electronic compass function, hold the camera firmly and move in a figure of 8 while turning your wrist over. • Since the GPS function and electronic compass function are not required to be accurate, there is no guarantee that the measured values (latitude, longitude, compass direction etc.) are accurate.
