•If faces are not detected when Servo AF (=150) is set to [On], the AF frame is displayed in the center of the screen when you press the shutter button halfway.

•Examples of faces that cannot be detected:

With [FlexiZone], you can move and resize the AF frame (=147).

• A yellow AF frame is displayed with [] if the camera cannot focus when you press the shutter button halfway. Note that AF- point zooming (=87) is not possible.

• To compose shots so that subjects are positioned at the edge or in a corner, first aim the camera to capture the subject in an AF frame, and then hold the shutter button halfway down. As you continue to hold the shutter button halfway, recompose the shot as desired, and then press the shutter button all the way down (Focus Lock).
