There could be more to this feature than you had imagined.
On some cameras Touch operation can be modified to activate theshutter (Touch Shutter), pull focus (AF Focus) or initiate tracking (Touch Tracking). When Touch Operation is used in conjunction with the Finder (EVF) you can modify the behaviour of the Screen (now called the Touch Pad) in the a third Menu. What makes this a little complicated for the newcomer to set up is the 3 menu items can be spread over three different pages in the Main menus.
Note > Not all cameras have the same Touch Operation features, e.g., Touch tracking is available on the newer models only.
