Tracking focus

The camera tracks the subject and adjusts the focus automatically even when the subject is moving
(Tracking focus).
1. Aim the camera at the subject and touch the place you want to focus.
Touch to cancel the tracking focus.
Tracking a face
If you use the tracking focus function while the Face Detection function is activated, you can select a
face to be given priority and register that face with the camera. Even if the registered face disappears
from the screen, when it shows up on the screen again, the camera focuses on the registered face.
When a specified face is registered in the camera memory and you use the Smile Shutter function,
the camera searches only for that face's smile.
Notes
When you use zoom functions other than optical zoom, the tracking focus function is not available.
Tracking focus will automatically be canceled when the subject disappears from the screen or has
failed to be tracked. However, if the target of the tracking focus is a specified face, the camera
keeps tracking on that face even if the face disappears from the screen.
