❚❚ Subject Tracking
When Auto-area AF is selected for AF-
area mode, pressing J enables focus
tracking. The focus point will change to a
targeting reticle; position the reticle over
the target and press J again to start
tracking. The focus point will track the
selected subject as it moves through the frame (in the case of
portrait subjects, focus will track the subject’s face). To end
tracking, press J a third time. To exit subject-tracking mode, tap
the W button.
D Face/Eye-Detection AF
Eye detection is not available in movie mode. Eye and face detection
may not perform as expected if:
• the subject’s face occupies a very large or very small proportion of
the frame,
• the subject’s face is lit too brightly or too poorly,
• the subject is wearing glasses or sunglasses,
• the subject’s face or eyes are obscured by hair or other objects, or
• the subject moves excessively during shooting.
D Subject Tracking
The camera may be unable to track subjects if they move quickly, leave
the frame or are obscured by other objects, change visibly in size, color,
or brightness, or are too small, too large, too bright, too dark, or similar
in color or brightness to the background.
