Changing the AF Frame Mode

You can change the AF (Auto Focus) frame mode to match the scene you want to shoot.

Choose [AF Frame].

zPress the n button to choose [AF Frame] from the 4tab, then press the qr buttons to choose an option.

Face AiAF

Detects people’s faces and sets the focus, exposure (evaluative metering only) and white balance ( only).

When the camera is pointed at subjects, a white frame appears on the face the camera judges to be the main subject, and gray frames (max. 2) will appear on other faces.

A frame will follow a moving subject within a certain range.

When the shutter button is pressed halfway, up to 9 green frames will appear on faces that the camera focuses on.

If a face is not detected, or only gray frames (no white frame) appear, up to 9 green frames will appear on the areas the camera focuses on when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

If a face is not detected when Servo AF (p. 97) is set to [On], the AF frame will appear in the center of the screen when you press the shutter button halfway.

Examples of faces that cannot be detected:

-Subjects that are far away or extremely close

-Subjects that are dark or light

-Faces turned to the side or at an angle, or faces with a portion hidden

The camera may mistakenly identify non-human subjects as a face.

If the camera cannot focus when you press the shutter button halfway, the AF frame will not appear.
