Face detection frame

When the camera detects a face, the gray face-detection frame appears. The frame color will be reddish purple if the detected face has been registered using the [Face Memory] function.
The face detection frame turns white when the face is detected inside or around the focus area, and the camera determines that autofocus is enabled.


Eye detection frame

A white eye detection frame appears when an eye is detected and the camera determines that autofocusing is possible.

The eye detection frame is displayed as follows when [Face/Eye Subject] is set to [Animal] or [Bird].

Hint

  • If you want the face or eye detection frame to disappear within a certain period of time after the camera has focused on the face or eye, set [AF Area Auto Clear] to [On].

Note

  • If the subject is moving too much, the detection frame may not be displayed correctly over their eyes.
  • The eye detection frame is not displayed when the Eye AF function is unavailable.
  • Even if [Face/Eye Frame Disp.] is set to [Off], a green focusing frame will appear over faces or eyes that are in focus when you press the shutter button halfway down, etc.
