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 ring 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 ( = 58) if no frames are displayed,

if frames are not displayed around desired subjects, or if it is not
possible to shoot with your expected effect, color, or brightness.

To choose subjects to focus on, touch the desired subject on the
screen. [ ] is displayed, and the camera enters Touch AF mode
( = 42). Pressing the shutter ring halfway will display a blue AF
frame, and the camera will keep the subject in focus and image
brightness adjusted (Servo AF).
