Lock-On
Lock-On is a targeting mechanism in the Kingdom Hearts series, present in all installments except the original Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and the original Kingdom Hearts coded. 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. In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, while in side-scrolling areas, Data-Sora can lock on to a maximum of five enemies at a time rather than one.
Lock-On is activated and deactivated by tapping 
in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, tapping 
in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, double-tapping R in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and tapping L and R at the same time in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. 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.
