Page 95 Focus Tracking a Specific Subject You can have the camera track other moving subjects that are not faces and also combine the tracking function with one of the autofocus functions to let the camera focus on the desired subject automatically. To use the tracking function, you will need to set an assignable button to [Tracking] in advance.
Page 96 Image Stabilization Image Stabilization In CAMERA mode, you can use the image stabilizer to compensate for camera shake and achieve steadier shots. The image stabilizer is more effective at wider angles and the effect is reduced the more you approach the telephoto end.
Page 97 Image Stabilization • The camera’s image stabilization will not function when using super telephoto lenses with a focal length exceeding 1000 mm.
Page 98 Zoom Zoom You can use the camera to zoom when an EF Cinema lens compatible with zoom operation (A 270), an EF lens integrated with a PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter or an RF lens integrated with a PZ-E2 Power Zoom Adapter is attached to the camera.
