❚❚ Choosing the Focus Point The method for selecting the focus point for autofocus varies with the option selected for AF-area mode (0 82). 8 (face-priority AF): A double yellow border will be displayed when the camera detects a portrait subject (if multiple faces, up to a maximum of 35, are detected, the camera will focus on the closest subject; to choose a different subject, use the multi selector). If the camera can no longer detect the subject (because, for example, the subject has turned to face away from the camera), the border will no longer be displayed. 9/! (wide- and normal-area AF): Use the multi selector to move the focus point anywhere in the frame, or press J to position the focus point in the center of the frame. " (subject-tracking AF): Position the focus point over your subject and press J. The focus point will track the selected subject as it moves through the frame. To end focus tracking, press J a second time. Focus point x Focus point Focus point D Subject Tracking The camera may be unable to track subjects if they move quickly, leave the frame or are obscured by other objects, change visibly in size, color, or brightness, or are too small, too large, too bright, too dark, or similar in color or brightness to the background. 83
