Lock-On is a targeting mechanism in the Kingdom Hearts series, present in all installments except the original Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. While the player will automatically attack the closest available target, Lock-On allows the player to permanently target a single enemy or attackable object, typically signified by the tan targeting reticule turning blue. While locked on to an enemy or an object, the camera will automatically move to follow the target.
Lock-On is activated and deactivated by tapping 
in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, tapping 
in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, and double-tapping R in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Switching targets while in Lock-On is done by pressing or 
in Kingdom Hearts, by holding and moving the right analog stick in Kingdom Hearts II, and by tapping R in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
In a number of games, there are abilities that assist or enhance the targeting and Lock-On features. These include Scan, Range Extender, and Auto-Lock.
