What if...•What if the color and brightness of the images do not turn out as expected?
The scene icon (p. 172) that appears on the screen may not match the actual scene. If this happens, try shooting in G mode (p. 83).
•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. 92).
If the subject moves, however, the gray frames will disappear, leaving only the white frame.
•What if a frame does not appear on the subject you want to shoot?
The subject may not be detected, and frames may appear on the background. If this happens, try shooting in G mode (p. 83).
•What if a blue frame appears when you press the shutter button halfway? A blue frame appears when a moving subject is detected; the focus and exposure will continuously adjust (Servo AF).
