Tracking frame display
The white frame shown below is displayed when you touch a subject on the monitor, indicating that tracking with the subject in focus is possible. To shoot a movie as the camera tracks the subject, press the MOVIE button in this state.
Note that touching the monitor does not enable tracking when you select [Zone], [Flexible Spot], or [Expand Flexible Spot] and the triangles (up/down/left/right) are displayed on the monitor. To enable tracking, either press the center of the control wheel or start shooting a movie, and then touch a subject on the monitor after the triangles (up/down/left/right) displayed on the monitor disappear.
To cancel tracking, touch the icon or press the center of the control wheel.
- Tracking is enabled and a subject is in focus
The link between Tracking and [Face/Eye AF Set.]
If you set [Face/Eye AF Set.] to focus on a face or eye of a person beforehand, a focusing frame will move automatically to any detected face or eye while tracking a subject. This is effective for sports photography or for photographing portraits of a model making spinning motions.

Tracking distant subjects
-
If a face is detected once the subject is closer, the focusing frame will move to the face or eyes。
