Focusing on Moving Subjects for Shooting (Subject Tracking/
Face Priority Tracking)
Choose this mode to shoot moving subjects.
When Subject tracking is selected, it begins once you select a subject to be
focused on, and the focus area will move and follow the subject.
When Face priority tracking is selected, once the camera detects a persons
face, it automatically registers that face as the subject, and the focus area moves
to track the face.

of the frame, and then press the k button.
- The subject is registered.
- When the camera is unable to focus on the subject,

For Face priority tracking, when the camera detects a
face in the frame, that face is automatically registered as
the subject.
- When no faces are detected and the k button is
pressed, the subject at the center of the frame is
registered.

focus area display, which moves to track the subject.

to cancel the currently selected subject.
