[Advanced: Subject detection]
[Timing options]
These settings are good for photographing wild animals on trails or at watering holes or feeding
sites.
Disabling [Motion] prevents auto capture being triggered by the wind or swaying branches.
Setting the camera to record ten-second bursts on detecting the subject ensures that shooting will
continue for a fair amount of time even if the camera subsequently loses track of the subject's
location.
Shoot in silent mode to avoid startling your subjects.
