Luna Series: Auto Tracking and Smart Framing

Applicable Models: Luna Ultra and Luna Pro

Enabling the Tracking feature allows stable tracking of people, pets, and various objects, significantly improving the coherence of dynamic images and final media quality. The following sections detail how to use this feature and answer FAQs.

How to enable Auto Tracking

In modes that support tracking, you can enable tracking using any of the following methods:

Method 1: Via Joystick

On the shooting page, push in the joystick. The system will automatically identify and lock onto the best subject in the frame to start tracking. Long press the joystick to enable Auto Tracking or Group Tracking depending on how many people are in front of the camera.

Method 2: Via Touchscreen Double-Tap

Double-tap the subject you want to track on the screen to start tracking directly.

Method 3: Via Feature Icon

Tap the tracking icon on the left side of the screen to perform the following actions:

  • Single-Tap Selection: Directly tap a pre-detected subject in the frame.
  • Manual Selection: Press and drag on the screen to draw a box around one or more subjects. (This method supports free tracking for any object that has not been pre-detected.)
  • Auto-Tracking: Once enabled, the camera detects trackable human subjects in the frame in real time. When the shutter button is pressed or tracking is triggered, the system automatically selects the largest subject closest to the center of the frame as the tracking target and begins auto-tracking. This is ideal for scenarios such as outdoor solo selfies. It is recommended to avoid overly crowded environments while shooting to ensure accurate tracking.

Notes on Canceling Auto Tracking and Losing Tracking Subjects

Manual Exit

When tracking, single-tap anywhere on the screen to cancel.

Subject Lost

If the subject is obstructed or leaves the frame, the box will turn yellow as the system attempts to reacquire it. In this state, the system applies different auto-cancel strategies based on the type of tracked subject:

For human subjects: The system will continue searching for the subject and will never automatically cancel tracking.

For pet subjects: If the subject is not reacquired within 10 seconds, the box will disappear and tracking will automatically cancel.

For other subjects: If the subject is not reacquired within 5 seconds, the box will disappear and tracking will automatically cancel.

Note: Group Tracking supports up to eight people.

How to enable Smart Framing / Customize Framing

While tracking, tap the Smart Framing button on the left side of the screen. You can then tap the screen or toggle the joystick to select a composition point, ensuring the tracked subject always remains positioned at that specific point.

Please note: Tracking performance may be limited in environments with rapid movement, obstructed subjects, or extremely low light.
