Canon EOS R50 Mirrorless Camera (White) - Manual (Page 418)

Caution
The following kinds of subjects may not be detected. Also, the subject's left or right
eye may not be prioritized correctly.
• Extremely small or large
• Too bright or dark
• Partially hidden
• Difficult to distinguish from the background
• Obscured by rain, snow, or dust clouds
People's posture or the color or shape of what they are wearing may prevent
detection. Frames may also appear for subjects other than people.
The camera may not detect dogs, cats, or birds, depending on the breed, color,
shape, or posture. Frames may also appear for similar-looking animals or non-
animal subjects.
The camera may not detect two- or four-wheeled vehicles depending on the type,
color, shape, or orientation. Frames may also appear for similar-looking vehicles or
subjects that are not vehicles.
To avoid having a tracking frame displayed next to unintended subjects when you
are shooting people, animals, or vehicles with the camera set to [
Auto ], change the
setting to track your intended subjects.
