AF Frame
What if...
• What if the color and brightness of the images do not turn out as
expected?
The scene icon (p. 185) that appears on the screen may not match the actual
scene. If this happens, try shooting in
G
mode (p. 81).
• What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera toward
a subject?
A white frame appears on the face or subject that the camera detected as the
main subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will
follow the subjects within a certain range (p. 91).
If the subject moves, however, the gray frames will disappear, leaving only the
white frame.
