Face detection frame
When the product detects a face, the gray face detection frame appears. When the product determines that autofocus is
enabled, the face detection frame turns white.
In case you have registered the priority order for each face using [Face Registration], the product automatically selects
the first prioritized face and the face detection frame over that face turns white. The face detection frames of other
registered faces turn reddish-purple.
