Focusing on a Moving Subject in Subject Tracking Mode

Use this mode to shoot moving subjects. Subject tracking begins once you select a
subject to be focused on, and the focus area will move and follow the subject.
1
Rotate the mode dial to s (subject tracking).
• The camera enters subject tracking mode, and a white
border is displayed in the center of the frame.
2
Select a subject.
• Frame the subject in the center of the border, and press
the k button.
- The subject is registered.
- When the camera is unable to focus on the subject,
the border will glow red. Change the composition
and try again.
• Once the subject is registered, it is framed by a yellow
focus area display, and subject tracking begins.
• To change subjects, press the k button to cancel the
currently selected subject, then select a new subject.
• If the camera loses sight of the subject, the focus area
display disappears; register the subject again.
3
Press the shutter-release button to take the
picture.
• If the camera focuses on the focus area when the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area
display turns green and the focus is locked.
• If the camera is unable to focus, the focus area display
will blink. Press the shutter-release button halfway again
to focus.
• If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway while the focus area display is not
displayed, the camera focuses at the center of the frame.
• Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture.
