Note

  • [Lock-on AF] may not operate well in the following situations:
    • The subject is moving too quickly.
    • The subject is too small, or too large.
    • The contrast between the subject and the background is poor.
    • It is dark.
    • The ambient light changes.
  • [On (Start w/shutter)] can be set only when [Continuous AF] is selected in [Focus Mode].

Hint

  • If you lose track of the subject, this product can detect the subject and resume the Lock-on AF function when the subject reappears on the screen.
