Tracking the face you want to shoot

The camera stops tracking a subject when the subject moves off of the screen. When the 
subject to be tracked is a face, if the face disappears from the screen while the camera is 
tracking, and then returns to the screen, the camera focuses on that face again.
• If you trigger Smile Shutter while tracking a face, the face becomes the target of the smile 

detection feature.
