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.

- 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 the Digital 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.
