Subject Selection in OM 1.2

[HerrBill]

I'm seeking help on how subject selection functions on the om1 mark 2.

I tried searching in the manual but because of a lack of an index I find it impossible to navigate.

Any suggestions or video tutorials would be welcome.

Thanks for your response. I'm clear about the functionality of subject detection. My problem refers to subject selection. I have it set to a custom button. When I activate the selection button with bird detection activate, the focusing frame ON 2 jumps from bird to bird. I just don't know how to fix the frame to the bird of my choice.
As i said in my initial posting, I am unable to navigate to the chapter dealing with subject selection because of a lack of an index in the manual.
I hope that my cry for help doesn't fall on deaf ears

I have set the subject selection function onto the AF-ON button (using the button function item in the Operations sub-menu (the one with the cog). When I have bird subject detection on, if there are multiple subjects in the frame pressing the AF-ON button (to activate the subject selection) it will lock onto the subject currently with the bold frame. To select a different subject, hold the AF-ON button and use the front dial to move through the subjects. I have never used this in anger, just played with it with a painting with multiple birds on it.

Look at Subject Selection Lock on page 121. of the manual.
