Switching Tracked Subjects
You can specify how easily the camera switches AF points to track subjects.
Initial priority
Tracks the subject initially determined for AF, to the extent possible.
On subject
Tracks the subject initially determined for AF, to the extent possible. Switches to other
subjects if the camera can no longer determine if the tracked subject is the main subject.
Switch subject
Switches to track other subjects in response to shooting conditions.
Caution
Precautions when set to [Initial priority
]
The camera may not be able to continue tracking subjects under some subject
conditions.
• If subjects move vigorously
• If subjects face a different direction or change their posture
• If the tracking frame strays from subjects, or if subjects are hidden behind
obstructions and you can no longer see them
Subjects selected by touch operations are tracked to the extent possible,
regardless of the [ : Subject to detect] setting.
Note
If you prefer to keep focusing on the main subject determined initially, consider
using [Initial priority] or [On subject].
If you prefer prompt switching to other subjects that the camera can focus on,
based on how the shot is composed, consider using [Switch subject].
