Notes on Subject Tracking
• The digital zoom is not available.
• Set the zoom position, flash mode, focus mode, or menu settings before registering a subject. If
any of these are changed after a subject is registered, the subject will be canceled.
• During certain conditions, such as when the subject is moving quickly, when there is a large
amount of camera shake, or when there are multiple subjects that look alike, the camera may not
be able to register or track a subject, or the camera may track a different subject. Additionally, the
subject may not be tracked properly depending on factors such as the subject's size and
brightness.
• When the camera enters standby mode (A23), the registration of the subject is canceled. To
prevent this, setting a longer time for the auto off function (E73) is recommended.
• Some features cannot be used in combination with other menu settings. See "Features Not
Available in Combination" (A75) for more information.
