More on Shooting Focusing on a Moving Subject (Subject Tracking Mode) Use this mode to take pictures of moving subjects. Select the subject which the camera will focus. The focus area will automatically move to track the subject. At the default setting, once the camera detects a person's face it will automatically begin tracking that person (face priority tracking). 1 Press the A button in shooting mode to display the shooting- mode selection menu, use the rotary multi selector to select s, and press the k button. Subject tracking The camera enters subject tracking mode and a white border is displayed at the center of the frame. The flash mode (A 30) is set to W (off) (the setting can be changed). 2 Select a subject. Align the subject with the border at the center of the frame and press the k button. • The subject is selected. • When the camera is unable to focus on the subject, the border will glow red. Change the composition and try Start again. When the subject is selected, a yellow border (focus area) is displayed around that subject and the camera begins tracking that subject. When the camera recognizes a face, that face is automatically registered as the subject to be tracked, and subject tracking begins (A 72). To change the subject, press the k button to deselect the current subject. If the camera cannot track the selected subject anymore, the focus area will disappear and the selection will be canceled. Select the subject again. 70
