Adjusting the Focus

NOTES
NOTES
• In certain cases, faces may not be detected correctly. Typical examples include:
- Faces extremely small, large, dark or bright in relation to the overall picture.
- Faces that are turned to the side, at a diagonal, partially hidden or upside-down.
• Face detection cannot be used in the following cases:
- When the shutter speed used is slower than 1/30 (59.94 Hz recordings), 1/25 (50.00 Hz recordings) or 1/24
(24.00 Hz recordings).
- When slow motion recording is activated.
- When a manual focus lens is attached to the camera.
• The camera may mistakenly detect the faces of non-human subjects. In such case, turn face detection off.
• If you set an assignable button to [Face Detection] (A 119), you can press the button to turn the function on
and off. If you set an assignable button to [Face AF], you can press the button to toggle between the face
detection options.
Tracking a Specific Subject
You can have the camera track other moving subjects that are not faces and also combine the tracking function
with one of the autofocus functions to let the camera focus on the desired subject automatically.
To use the tracking function, you will need to set an assignable button to [Tracking] in advance.
1 Set an assignable button to [Tracking] (A 119).
2 Press the assignable button.
• The subject selection mark
I
will appear on the screen.
• Press the assignable button again or the CANCEL button to exit the subject selection screen.
3 Select the subject you want to track.
• Push the joystick up/down/left/right or touch the desired subject on the LCD screen to place the center of
the
I
mark on the desired subject and then press the joystick. If the tracking failed, the
I
mark will turn
red momentarily. Select the subject again.
4 The
I
mark changes to a tracking frame and the camera will start tracking the selected subject.
• During continuous AF, the camera will keep focusing on the selected subject. During one-shot AF, the
camera will focus on the selected subject while you hold the ONE-SHOT AF button pressed down.
• Press the joystick again or press the assignable button to return to the subject selection screen and select a
different subject, or press the CANCEL button to end the tracking function and return the camera to the
focus mode that was used previously.
