Notes on Face Priority Tracking
• Only one subject can be tracked. If the camera detects multiple faces at the same time, the face
closest to the center of the frame is tracked.
• Depending on shooting conditions, such as whether or not the subject is facing the camera, the
face may not be detected properly.

When On is selected (default setting), if the camera detects a subject’s face, that
subject is automatically registered as the subject to be tracked, and subject tracking
begins tracking that subject.
