Center Lock-on AF

When you press the center of the control wheel, the camera detects the subject positioned in the center of the screen and continues to track the subject.

  1. MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Center Lock-on AF] → [On].
  2. Align the target frame (A) over the subject and press the center of the control wheel.
    • Press the center again to stop tracking.

  3. Press the shutter button fully down to shoot the image.

Hint

  • You can select the subject to be tracked by touch operation when shooting using the monitor. Set [Touch Operation] to other than [Off].
