Lock-on AF

When you press the (Enter) button, the camera detects the subject positioned in the center of the screen and continues to track the subject.

  1. MENU (Camera Settings1) → [button Lock-on AF][On].
  2. Align the target frame (A) over the subject and press the (Enter) button.
    Press the (Enter) button again to stop tracking.
