This menu contains two options: [Blocked Shot AF Response] and [Subject
motion].
■ Blocked Shot AF Response
If AF-C is selected for AF mode, focus tracking with lock-on will prevent the camera refocusing when
your subject is briey obscured by another object, ensuring that it will continue to track the main
subject once the obstacle has moved away. Choose the length of time before the camera refocuses
from [1(Quick)], [2], [3], [4], and [5 (Delayed)]. Lock-on applies only while the camera is focusing; to
focus at a new distance without waiting for lock-on to end, re-initiate autofocus.
The camera will track and focus on objects at the same distance as the
main subject. High values (slow response) make the camera slow to re-
focus on obstacles when the shot is blocked. Select low values (quick
response) to quickly refocus on subjects passing in front of the camera
and for improved response when switching rapidly from one subject to
another.
■ Subject Motion
Choose how the camera tracks subjects in motion. Choose [Steady] for subjects approaching the
camera at a steady pace, like sprinters or race cars on a track, [Erratic] for long or triple jumpers and
other subjects prone to sudden stops and starts.
