If you do not touch any area on the screen, the focus frame will
appear in the centre of the screen.
Tracking a subject may fail when:
- the subject is too small or the subject moves
- the subject is backlit or you are shooting in a dark place
- colours or patterns on the subject and the background are the
same
- the camera shakes excessively
In these cases, the focus frame will appear as a white single-line
frame.
If the camera fails to track the subject, you must reselect the subject
to track.
If the camera fails to fix the focus, the focus frame will change to a red
single-line frame.
If you use this function, you cannot set face detection and photo style
options.
