Thank you! That works perfect for me and helps a lot! All the best from Germany! Steffix

There is another great option that really mimics the old Subject Tracking. It is called Recall Shooting Functions and it lets you select 3d Tracking with Subject Detection turned off so you can select anything and it locks onto it regardless what it is. If you just select 3d Tracking the focus can jump to a face as it sees a Subject rather than an Object. Great for weddings for ring putting on shots among other things.

Agreed, it's key to also shut off Subject Tracking since it'll grab a face / eye when the 3D Tracking box is anywhere on the subject's body (of course the face must be in frame). I also discovered that 3D Tracking will stick to the face of the person you select, in group shots.

Thank you! I'm new to bird photography, and , if I understand correctly, function button & AF button need to be pressed to access 3d tracking. So, leaving my Z8 on a tripod, a few feet away from a bird perch, and remotely triggering it, there's no way to access 3d tracking, without the buttons being pushed, is there? Thanks again!

If I go to Fn2 I can't choose 3d. It's not there...

Is there a way to use this function in video mode?

yes, I use it a lot; it's called Subject Tracking AF, and is depicted by Target symbol

Thanks!
