Focus Tracking
When shooting a moving subject, with the focus mode set to
Continuous Servo Autofocus and the film advance mode to
CL (Continuous Low), Focus Tracking is automatically activated
to ensure focused images. In Focus Tracking, the camera
analyzes the speed of the moving subject according to focus
detection data, and drives the autofocus lens by anticipating
the position of the subiect at the exact moment of exposure.
• When focus tracking is activated and a focused image is
assured, ► ◄ appears in the viewfinder. In Focus Tracking
mode, the in-focus indicator (•) does not appear even if a
correctly focused image is assured.
• If the subject speed becomes erratic, Focus Tracking will be
automatically deactivated and standard continuous focusing
will operate.
• Focus Tracking ability will vary according to subject's
brightness and movement, lens in use and shooting distance.
• During Focus Tracking, the subject must remain within the
focus brackets.
• In Focus Tracking with Ihe film advance mode set at CL, the
shooting speed is faster than 2.8 fps (specified speed for CL).
