Option Description • Track focus on a selected subject. • Position the reticle over the target and start n [Subjecttracking AF] tracking by pressing the shutter-release button halfway or by pressing J or AF-ON; the focus point will track the selected subject as it moves through the frame. To end tracking and select the center focus point, press J. • This option is only available in video mode. • The camera automatically detects the subject and h [Auto-area AF] selects the focus area. • Use on occasions when you don't have time to select the focus point yourself, for portraits, or for snapshots and other spur-of-the-moment photos. D Caution: 3D-Tracking and Subject Tracking The camera may be unable to track subjects that: • are similar in color, brightness, or pattern to the background, • change visibly in size, color, or brightness, • are too large or too small, • are too bright or too dark, • move quickly, or • are obscured by other objects or leave the frame.
