Option h Auto-area AF Description • The camera automatically detects the subject and 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. • A yellow border indicating the focus point appears around the faces of human subjects detected by the camera. If eyes are detected, the yellow focus point will instead appear over one or the other of their eyes (face/eyedetection AF). This frees you to concentrate on framing and your subject's expression while photographing active portrait subjects (0 58). • If Animal detection on is selected for Custom Setting a2 (Auto-area AF face/eye detection), a yellow focus point will appear over the faces of dogs or cats detected by the camera. If eyes are detected, the yellow focus point will instead appear over one or the other of their eyes (animal-detection AF, 0 60). • Subject tracking (0 62) can be initiated by pressing the J button. Custom Setting f2 (Custom controls (shooting)) or g2 (Custom controls) can be used to configure the Fn1 or Fn2 button to start subject-tracking AF (0 286, 298). Subject-tracking AF can also be assigned to the lens Fn or Fn2 button using Custom Setting f2 (Custom controls (shooting)). 56 Basic Settings
