Press the shutter-release button to take the
picture.
If the camera focuses on the focus area when the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area
display lights in green and the focus is locked.
If the camera is unable to focus, the focus area display
will blink. Press the shutter-release button halfway again
to focus.
If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway while the focus area is not displayed,
the camera focuses at the center of the frame.
Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture.
B Notes on Subject Tracking
The digital zoom is not available.
Set the zoom position, flash mode, creative slider, or menu before registering a subject. If any of
these are changed after a subject is registered, the subject will be canceled.
During certain conditions, such as when the subject is moving quickly, when there is a large
amount of camera shake, or when there are multiple subjects that look alike, the camera may not
be able to register or track a subject, or the camera may track a different subject. Additionally, the
subject may not be tracked properly depending on factors such as the subjects size and
brightness.
In some rare cases of shooting subjects for which autofocus does not perform as expected (A29),
the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area lights in green. If you cannot
focus, change the AF area mode setting to Manual or Center, or try shooting with focus lock
(A29) by switching the shooting mode to a mode such as auto mode and refocusing on another
subject at the same distance.
This feature cannot be used simultaneously with certain features. See “Functions that Cannot be
Applied Simultaneously” (A90) for more information.
B Notes on Face Priority Tracking
Only one subject can be tracked. If the camera detects multiple faces at the same time, the face
closest to the center of the frame is tracked.
When the frame includes more than one face, the face detected by the camera and registered as
the subject to be tracked depends upon a variety of factors, including the direction in which the
faces are looking.
Depending on shooting conditions, such as whether or not the subject is facing the camera, the
face may not be detected properly. Additionally, the camera may be unable to detect faces in the
following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
