Focusing on a Moving Subject (Subject Tracking Mode)

Use this mode to take pictures of moving subjects. Select the subject which the
camera will focus. The focus area will automatically move to track the subject.
At the default setting, once the camera detects a person's face it will automatically
begin tracking that person (face priority tracking).
