I have noticed that in cameras, specialized devices help to aim automatically. Those sensors involving some video cameras change in in the area of contrast, while others make use of a beam associated with infra-red (IR) light, especially in low lighting. Higher standards cameras occasionally use a combination of both models and likely have Face Priority AF where the camera can ‘See’ a face and concentrate only upon that.
