If the camera is unable to focus, the focus area will be displayed in red. See page 139.

While the shutter-release button is

pressed halfway, the display will show the number of exposures that can be stored in the memory buffer (“r”; 0 27).

AFace-Priority AF

The camera detects and focuses on portrait subjects (face-priority AF). A double yellow border will be displayed if a portrait subject is detected facing the camera (if multiple faces, up to a maximum of five, are detected, the camera will select the closest subject). Press the shutter-

release button halfway to focus on the subject in the double yellow border. The border will clear from the display if the camera can no longer detect the subject (because, for example, the subject has looked away).
