Tracking a subject may fail when:

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

-- the camera shakes excessively

In these cases, the focus frame appears 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 fix the focus, the focus frame changes to a red,

single-line frame ( ).

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