AF Frame
What if...
• What if the color and brightness of the images do not turn out as expected?
The scene icon (p. 198) that appears on the screen may not match the actual
scene. If this happens, try shooting in G mode (p. 76).
• What if the screen is off even when the camera is turned on?
Press the l button to turn on the screen.
• What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera toward
a subject?
When faces are detected, a white frame appears on the face of the main
subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will
follow the subjects within a certain range (p. 92).
If the main subject moves, however, the gray frames will disappear, leaving only
the white frame.
• What if a blue frame appears when you press the shutter button halfway?
A blue frame appears when a moving subject is detected; the focus and
exposure will continuously adjust (Servo AF).
Taking Pictures (Smart Auto)
When the camera focuses, it will beep twice
and AF frames will appear where the
camera focused.
Several AF frames will appear when the
camera focuses on more than one point.
