Focusing On A Moving Subject (Subject Tracking Mode) - Nikon Coolpix S3100 User Manual

Focusing on a Moving Subject (Subject Tracking Mode)

Use this mode to take pictures of moving subjects. Register the subject on which
the camera will focus. The focus area will automatically move to track the subject.
At the default setting, once the camera detects a human face it will automatically
begin tracking that person (face priority tracking).
1
Press the A button, press the
multi selector H or I to select s,
and press the k button.
The display switches to that for subject
tracking mode and a white border is
displayed at the center of the frame.
2
Register a subject.
When the camera detects a face in the frame, that face is
automatically registered as the subject to be tracked (A 71).
When shooting subjects other than people, align the
subject with the white border while it is displayed at the
center of the frame, and press the k button.
When the border glows red, the camera is unable to
focus on the subject. Change the composition and try to
register the subject again.
When the subject is registered, a yellow focus area is
displayed on that subject and the camera begins tracking
that subject.
To change the subject, press the k button to deregister
the current subject.
If the registered subject is not visible in the monitor, the focus area will disappear and
the registration will be canceled. Register the subject again.
