In digital camera terminology the active
child mode is a type of scene mode photographers can use to produce the best
results when photographing moving subjects, such as active children. The active
child mode lets you frame and select the child before you begin shooting the
pictures. Once framed the camera will then track and focus on that moving
subject enabling you to shoot faster with clearer images as a result. Active
child mode is a shooting mode found on many Nikon brand digital cameras and may
also be an option when capturing motion picture recording (videos) using the
camera, rather than still pictures.
