●

The camera can detect subjects even if you press the shutter 
button halfway without pressing the [ ] button. After your shot, 
[ ] is displayed in the center of the screen.

 

●

When shooting in [

] mode (= 73), press and hold the [ ] 

button for at least one second.

 

●

If [Face ID] is set to [On], names will not display when registered 
people are detected, but the names will be recorded in the still 
images (= 45). However, the name is displayed when a 
registered person is selected as a subject.

This mode helps avoid missing shots of subjects in motion, because the 

camera continues to focus on the subject and adjust the exposure as long 

as you press the shutter button halfway.

 

●

Press the [

] button, choose [Servo 

AF] on the [ ] tab, and then choose [On] 

(= 29).

 

●

The focus and exposure are maintained 

where the blue AF frame is displayed 

while you are pressing the shutter button 

halfway.

 

●

Aim the camera so that [ ] is on the 

desired subject, and then press the [ ] 

button.

 

●

When the subject is detected, the camera 

beeps and [ ] is displayed. (Even if the 

subject moves, the camera will continue 

to track the subject within a certain 

range.)

 

●

If no subject is detected, [ ] is displayed.

 

●

To cancel tracking, press the [ ] button 

again.

 

●

Pressing the shutter button halfway 

changes [ ] to a blue [ ], which follows 

the subject as the camera continues to 

adjust the focus and exposure (Servo AF) 

 

●

Press the shutter button all the way down 

to shoot.

 

●

Even after your shot, [ ] is still displayed 

and the camera continues to track the 

subject.

 

●

[Servo AF] (= 76) is set to [On] and cannot be changed.

 

●

Tracking may not be possible when subjects are too small or 
move too rapidly, or when subject color or brightness matches 
that of the background too closely.

 

●

[AF-Point Zoom] on the [

] tab is not available.

 

●

[ ] is not available.
