(Seek Assist)
Still Images Movies
If you lose track of a subject while zoomed in and move the camera to
look for it, the camera detects this movement and automatically zooms
out, which makes it easier to nd the subject.
1
Enter Auto mode (= 37).
2
Look for the lost subject.
● When you move the camera to look for
the subject, the camera zooms out to
help you nd it.

Reacquire the subject.
● Once you nd the subject and stop
moving the camera, the camera zooms
in again.

button again. [ Auto: Off] is displayed.
● A face may not be displayed at a constant size at some zoom
factors, or if the subject’s head is tilted or facing the camera
indirectly.

operating sounds are recorded.
● When
Auto is on, some shooting information is not displayed,
and some shooting settings cannot be congured.

edge of the screen, the camera zooms out to keep the person in
view.

] to another face with the [ ] button is not
possible during movie recording.

button all the way down in self-timer mode (

tab > [
Auto Settings] > [ Auto Zoom]. You can choose [Off]
to deactivate this feature and use only the feature described in
“Easily Reacquiring Subjects with Auto Zooming (Seek Assist)”.

will be restored in a few seconds after you release the lever.
