When I'm shooting I notice that when I first aim I will typically lock onto a target. Locking onto consecutive targets after that (keeping aim pressed) is intermittent, sometimes it will hop to the next person, other times it will drift into thin air and I will have to manually aim.
I looked in the options and noticed three settings: Auto, Manual and Traditional (I think). I'm using the default (Traditional) but having only ever played previous GTA's on the PC (always manual) I don't really know what Traditional means. Auto-aim appears obvious, and I'd like to avoid using that if I can, but I'd like to know the techniques for using Traditional.

There are now three aiming modes to toy with: assisted aiming, traditional GTA, and free aim. "Assisted aiming gives players a larger targeting area as well as a little more help analyzing targets to try and pick the largest threat," Hooker described to Game Informer. "Traditional GTA is the closest to previous GTA's soft lock option. It shares all the characteristics of assisted aiming, with the additional ability to flick left and right between targets using the right stick."
