moving subjects. In AF-S focus mode, user selects focus point manually 
(

f

, user selects focus point using multi selector

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.

AF-area mode can also be selected from the Custom Settings menu 
(

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.
