area

but camera will focus based on information from surrounding focus
points if subject briefly leaves selected point.

moving subjects.

(0 46); camera focuses on subject in selected focus point only.
e Auto-area Camera automatically detects subject and selects focus point.
f
3D-tracking
(11 points)
In AF-A and AF-C focus modes, user selects focus point using multi selector
(0 46).
If subject moves after camera has focused, camera uses 3D-
tracking to select new focus point and keep focus locked on original
subject while shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
If subject
leaves viewfinder, remove your finger from shutter-release button
and recompose photograph with subject in selected focus point.
A AF-Area Mode
AF-area mode can also be selected from the shooting menu (0 119).
AF-area mode selections made in shooting modes other than P, S, A, or
M are reset when another shooting mode is selected.
A 3D-tracking (11 Points)
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the colors in the area surrounding the
focus point are stored in the camera.
Consequently 3D-tracking may not produce the
desired results with subjects that are the same color as the background.
