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. Even if the registered face disappears from the screen, when it shows up on
the screen again, the camera focuses on the registered face.

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
●
Tracking focus is not available in the following situations:
●
When using zoom functions other than optical zoom

disappears from the screen.
