Never lose track of distant subjects with Zoom Framing Assist with Auto

It can be hard to keep track of faraway subjects when shooting at full zoom. Canon's exclusive Zoom Framing Assist function allows you to quickly zoom out and relocate your subject, before zooming back in to take the shot, by simply pressing and releasing a button. Or, let your camera do all the hard work and switch to Auto Mode, which tracks faces and automatically zooms in or out, allowing you to concentrate on framing your subject.
