More on Shooting B Notes on Subject Tracking Mode • Digital zoom is not available. • Adjust zoom position, exposure, menu settings, and flash mode prior to registering the subject. If these settings are adjusted 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. • In some rare cases, subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (A 27) may be out of focus despite the fact that the focus area glows green. Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode and set AF area mode (A 46) to Manual or Center, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject, and use focus lock (A 47). C Functions Available in Subject Tracking Mode • Flash mode (A 31) and exposure compensation (A 35) settings can be adjusted. • Self-timer (A 33) and macro mode (A 34) cannot be used. • Press the d button to display the s (subject tracking) menu and make the Image mode, 70 Autofocus mode, and Face priority tracking settings (A 71).
