[AF Mode] is automatically set to [ ]. If you touch the subject, the camera switches to
[ ] and the AF tracking function starts operating.
You can also switch to [ ] by pressing [MENU/SET], going to the [Rec] menu, then
going to the [AF Mode] menu and selecting [ ] (tracking). Align the AF tracking area with
the subject and press the shutter button halfway to operate the AF tracking function.
For details about AF tracking, refer to (→151).
• In [ ], [ ], and [ ], the camera adjusts the focus on the eye that is closest to this
unit and matches the exposure with the face. In Intelligent Auto Plus Mode or Intelligent
Auto Mode, the eye to be focused on cannot be changed. (Face/Eye Detection)
• Automatic Scene Detection does not function until the focus is locked on a subject
during AF Tracking.
• When [Face Recog.] (→226) is set to [ON] and if the camera recognises a face similar
to a registered face, [R] is displayed on the upper right corner of the [
], [ ], and
[ ] icons.
