My co-op partner keeps pulling the shared camera ahead of me. How do we agree on a pace?

I was halfway across the moving platforms when the camera followed my sister to the next doorway. My character disappeared off the edge, and we restarted. "You have to keep up," she said.

We're playing a two-player platform game on one screen. She enjoys finding the quickest route; I want to check the side passages and learn the jumps. I can accept missing some collectibles. What frustrates me is losing a life because we effectively have two different finish lines.

She says waiting at every ledge breaks the rhythm, and I can see that. I also stopped to inspect a hidden alcove without telling her, so she thought I was beside her when she moved on. We both contributed to that restart.

Would it help to agree on a signal before either player leaves the screen, or are we trying to combine a fast run and an exploration run that need separate sessions? I want to play with her without becoming cargo attached to the camera.
