Choosing the Subject Size

Rotate the main command dial to choose a [Subject Size] of [1] to

[5]. Choose lower values to include smaller subjects, higher values

to restrict subject detection to larger subjects.

The apparent subject size (approximate percentage of the angle

of view) for each setting is listed below.

[1]: 2.5% or more

[2]: 5% or more

[3]: 10% or more

[4]: 15% or more

[5]: 20% or more

Press i to save changes and return to the auto capture settings display.

Tip: Size

Subjects that meet the criterion for [Subject Size] are shown by green boxes in the subject

detection display.

A [Subject Size] of [1] makes it easier for the camera to detect subjects of a variety of sizes.

We recommend that you begin from a low value and then gradually raise it while checking the

display of green boxes in the subject detection display or taking test pictures until subject detection

functions as desired.

Tip: "Subject Size"

If both [Motion] and [Subject detection] are chosen for [Capture criteria], the [Subject Size] chosen

for the former will have no effect on the [Subject Size] chosen for latter. Changing the [Subject Size]

selected in the motion settings display has no effect on the [Subject Size] selected in the subject

detection display. The two conditions will be assessed separately, but only subjects that meet the

criteria for both will trigger auto capture.
