● button Tracking

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 Tracking] → [On].
  2. Align the target frame (A) over the subject and press the (Enter) button.
    Press the (Enter) button again to stop tracking.
    • If the camera loses track of the subject, it can detect when the subject reappears on the monitor and resume tracking.

  3. Press the SHUTTER/MOVIE button fully down to shoot the image.

Hint

  • If you assign the [Focus Standard] function to the (Enter) button, you can activate [button Tracking] or retry detecting a subject by pressing the (Enter) button when [Focus Area] is set to [Wide] or [Center].
