If these settings are adjusted after the subject has been registered, subject registration will be canceled. · It may be impossible to register the desired subject, or the camera may be unable to track the registered subject or may begin tracking a different subject, if the subject is moving rapidly, if there is a significant amount of camera shake, or if the camera detects a similar subject. The camera's ability to accurately track the registered subject is also dependent upon the size and brightness of the subject. · In some rare cases, subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (A 27) may be out of focus despite the fact that the focus area glows green. Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode and set AF area mode (A 46) to Manual or Center, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject, and use focus lock (A 47).

Autofocus mode Allows you to set the Autofocus mode (A 50) used for subject tracking mode (the default setting is Full-time AF). When using subject tracking mode while set to Full-time AF, the camera continuously focuses once a subject is registered for subject tracking until the shutter-release button is pressed halfway to lock the focus. Changes made to the autofocus mode setting in this mode will not be applied to the autofocus mode setting in the A (auto) mode. The autofocus mode setting applied in the subject tracking mode is stored in the camera's memory even after the camera is turned off. Face priority tracking When On (default setting) is selected and the camera detects a human face, that person is automatically registered as the subject to be tracked, and subject tracking begins tracking that subject. More on Shooting B Notes on Face Priority Tracking · Only one subject can be tracked. If the camera detects multiple faces at the same time, the face closest to the center of the frame is tracked. · When the frame includes more than one face, the face detected by the camera and registered as the subject to be tracked depends upon a variety of factors, including the direction in which the faces are looking. · Depending on shooting conditions, such as whether or not the subject is facing the camera, the face may not be detected properly. Additionally, the camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations: - When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed - When faces take up too much or too little of the frame · When the camera is unable to track the registered subject, press the k button to track again, or set Face priority tracking to Off, frame the picture so that the subject is inside the border in the center of the frame, and press the k button to register the subject again. 71 More on Playback Operations in Full-frame Playback Mode Press the c button in shooting mode to enter playback mode and pictures taken are displayed (A 28). 15/05/2011 15:30 0004.
