On-Screen Frames

A variety of frames are displayed once the camera detects subjects you are

aiming the camera at.

A white frame is displayed around the subject (or person’s face)

determined by the camera to be the main subject, and gray frames are

displayed around other detected faces. Frames follow moving subjects

within a certain range to keep them in focus.
However, if the camera detects subject movement, only the white frame

will remain on the screen.

When you are pressing the shutter button halfway and the camera

detects subject movement, a blue frame is displayed, and the focus and

image brightness are constantly adjusted (Servo AF).

Try shooting in [ ] mode (

=

43

) if no frames are displayed, if

frames are not displayed around desired subjects, or if frames are

displayed on the background or similar areas.
