If any camera setting is changed after the subject has been registered, subject registration will be canceled. • The camera may not be able to register or track the subject, or a different subject may be tracked, depending on shooting conditions such as if the subject is moving fast, if there is camera shake, and if there are similar looking subjects in the frame. 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 29), 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 (E37) to Manual or Center in A (auto) mode, and try focus lock shooting (A 78) by focusing on another subject that is the same distance from the camera. • Some settings cannot be used with other functions (A 73).
