(

another subject to focus on.

Press the shutter button all the way down
to shoot.

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.
