If you prefer the camera not to shoot when you touch the screen,
make sure [Touch Shutter] mode is deactivated. Press the <

n>

button, choose [Touch Shutter] on the [

4] tab, and then choose

[Off] (

•

Tracking may not be possible when subjects are too small or move

too rapidly, or when there is inadequate contrast between subjects
and the background.

•

Even if you are shooting in [

e] mode (

=

80

), the camera will

revert to [

] mode if you touch the screen to specify where to

focus.

•

If [Face ID] is set to [On], names will not display when registered
people are detected, but the names will be recorded in the still
images (

=

41

). However, a name will display if the subject

chosen to focus on is the same as a person detected with Face ID.
