On-Screen Frames; Common, Convenient Features; Zooming In Closer On Subjects (Digital Zoom) - Canon PowerShot SX420 IS User Manual

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).
● Depending on the shooting conditions and subject, no frames
may be displayed, frames may not be displayed around desired
subjects, or frames may be displayed on the background or
similar areas. If such a case occurs, it is recommended that you
shoot in [ ] mode ( = 49).
