Recording
The targeted subject (color) may also be tracked back again if it appears in the center of the screen within a specific time.
Caution :
0Subjects near the sides of the LCD monitor may not respond or be recognized when tapped. In this case, move the subject to the center and tap again.
0“FACE TRACKING” may not work properly depending on the shooting conditions (distance, angle, brightness, etc.) and the subject (direction of face, etc.). It is also particularly difficult to detect faces in backlight.
0“PET TRACKING” may not work properly depending on the type of pet, shooting conditions (distance, angle, brightness, etc.) and the subject (direction of face, etc.). It is also particularly difficult to detect faces of pets that are totally black, covered in long hair, or in backlight.
0“COLOR TRACKING” may not function properly in the following cases:
-when recording subjects with no contrast
-when recording subjects that are moving at high speed
-when recording in a dark place
-when the surrounding brightness changes
0When “FACE TRACKING” is set, the subject may be lost if the camera is moved vertically or horizontally very fast. For unregistered faces, they cannot be tracked back again. To track back the subject, tap on it again. For registered faces, focus and brightness will be adjusted automatically even without specific selection. In addition, registered faces may be tracked back again even if they are lost. Therefore, it is recommended to register the faces that are often being recorded by this camera beforehand.
