On-Screen Frames; Common, Convenient Features; Zooming In Closer On Subjects (Digital Zoom) - Canon Ixus 285 HS User Manual

On-Screen Frames

In [ ] mode, 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 ( = 53) if no frames are displayed, if
●
frames are not displayed around desired subjects, or if frames are
displayed on the background or similar areas.
