smaller subcaption

Question

I want a smaller subcaption so I used the following:
usepackage{subcaption}
setkomafont{captionlabel}{sffamilybfseries}
setkomafont{subcaption}{scriptsize}

But this doesn't change anything except the captionlabel is thick.
Can someone help me?

If you load caption, which is the case when you load subcaption, it takes over KoMa-script features.
In order to change the font size in subcaptions, you need to set the size key.
documentclass{scrartcl}
usepackage{subcaption}

captionsetup{labelfont={sf,bf}}
captionsetup[subfigure]{size=scriptsize}

begin{document}

begin{figure}
centering

begin{subfigure}{5cm}
centering
fbox{rule{0pt}{3cm}rule{3cm}{0pt}}
caption{Subfigure}
end{subfigure}qquad
begin{subfigure}{5cm}
centering
fbox{rule{0pt}{3cm}rule{3cm}{0pt}}
caption{Subfigure}
end{subfigure}

caption{A caption}

end{figure}

end{document}

The default value for size is smaller, which means that it uses one size smaller than the font size in main captions.
