Tracking a subject may fail in the following conditions:

• The subject moves excessively.
• The subject is backlit or you are shooting in a dark place.
• Colours or patterns on the subject and the background are the same.
• The subject includes horizontal patterns, such as blinds.
• The camera shakes excessively.

Auto mode
Auto mode allows the camera to evaluate the surroundings and determine the ideal mode
for the photo.
On the preview screen, tap
MODE → Auto.
Locking the focus and exposure
Strong light/dark contrast and the subject being outside the auto focus area may make it
difficult to achieve an appropriate exposure. Lock the focus or exposure and then take a
photo. Tap and hold the area to focus, the AF/AE frame will appear on the area and the focus
and exposure setting will be locked. The setting remains locked even after you take a photo.
