More on Shooting Focusing on a Moving Subject (Subject Tracking Mode) B Notes on Subject Tracking Mode • Digital zoom is not available. • Adjust zoom position, flash mode, exposure compensation, and menu settings prior to registering the subject. If any camera setting is changed after the subject has been registered, subject registration will be canceled. • It may be impossible to register the desired subject, or the camera may be unable to track the registered subject or may begin tracking a different subject, if the subject is moving rapidly, if there is a significant amount of camera shake, or if the camera detects a similar subject. The camera's ability to accurately track the registered subject is also dependent upon the size and brightness of the subject. • When using autofocus and shooting subjects that are difficult to focus on (A 27), the subject may not be in focus even though the focus area glows green. If the subject is not in focus, change AF area mode (A 50) to Manual or Center in A (auto) mode, and try focus lock shooting (A 51) by focusing on another subject that is the same distance from the camera. C Functions Available in Subject Tracking Mode • Flash mode (A 30) and exposure compensation (A 37) settings can be adjusted. • Self-timer (A 33) and macro mode (A 36) cannot be used. • Press the d button to display the s (subject tracking) menu and adjust Image mode or Autofocus mode (A 72). 71
