An upgrade to this feature is the Action Capture that automatically starts taking photos when it detects a tracking target on the screen. So, simply tap on the Capture button, do your thing and Pivo captures it!

Next, the On-Screen Position feature helps you optimize tracking by keeping you on the left, middle or right side of the screen. Hence, allowing you to adjust the position of the target on the screen when you’re looking to move fast. Whereas the Burst or Rapid feature is when multiple pictures are clicked for each shot so you can select the best one.

Another helpful feature is the Target Exposure. It prioritizes the exposure of the target that is being tracked over the background in uneven lighting, so that it is evenly exposed throughout the whole shot.
