A focus frame appears on the subject and follows the subject as you move the camera.

The white frame means that your camera is tracking the subject.

When you half-press [Shutter], the green frame means that your subject is in focus.

Tracking a subject may fail when: -- the subject is too small

-- the subject moves excessively

-- the subject is backlit or you are shooting in a dark place

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

-- the subject includes horizontal patterns, such as blinds -- the camera shakes excessively

When tracking a subject fails, the focus frame will appear 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 focus, the focus frame will change to a red

single-line frame (

).

If you use this function, you cannot set Face Detection options, Timer options, Burst options, and Intelli zoom.
