Changing the camera’s focus

If you do not select a focus area, the focus frame will appear in the
center of the screen.

Tracking a subject may fail when:

- the subject is too small

- the subject moves excessively

- the subject is backlit or you are shooting in a dark place

- colors or patterns on the subject and the background are the same

- the camera shakes excessively

When tracking a subject fails, the focus frame will appear as a white
single-line frame (

).

If the camera fails to track the subject, you must reselect the subject
to track.

If the camera fails to focus, the focus frame will change to a red single-
line frame (

).

If you use this function, you cannot set the timer options, Face
Detection options, and Smart Filter effects.
