BNotes About Subject Tracking
•Digital zoom cannot be used.
•Adjust zoom position, flash mode, creative slider, and menu settings prior to registering the 
subject. If any camera setting is changed after the subject has been registered, subject registration 
will be canceled.
•The camera may not be able to register or track the subject, or a different subject may be tracked, 
depending on shooting conditions such as if the subject is moving fast, if there is camera shake, 
and if there are similar looking subjects in the frame. The camera’s ability to accurately track the 
registered subject is also dependent upon the size and brightness of the subject.
•When using autofocus and shooting subjects that are difficult to focus on (A29), the subject 
may not be in focus even though the focus area glows green. If the subject is not in focus, change 
AF area mode (E37) to Manual or Center in A(auto) mode, and try focus lock shooting 
(A78) by focusing on another subject that is the same distance from the camera.
•Some settings cannot be used with other functions (A73).

BNotes About Printing Shooting Date and Shooting Information

information are printed on images when a DPOF-compatible (F19) printer that supports printing

•The date printed is that saved when the image was captured.

zone in the Time zone and date option in the setup menu after 
an image has been captured has no effect on the date printed on 
the image.
