On-Screen Frames

In [

] mode, a variety of frames are displayed once the camera detects

subjects you are aiming the camera at.

A white frame is displayed around the subject (or person’s face)

determined by the camera to be the main subject, and gray frames are

displayed around other detected faces. Frames follow moving subjects

within a certain range to keep them in focus.
However, if the camera detects subject movement, only the white frame

will remain on the screen.

When you are pressing the shutter button halfway and the camera

detects subject movement, a blue frame is displayed, and the focus and

image brightness are constantly adjusted (Servo AF).

Try shooting in [

G] mode (

=

49

) if no frames are displayed, if

frames are not displayed around desired subjects, or if frames are

displayed on the background or similar areas.

Image Stabilization Icons

Optimal image stabilization for the shooting conditions is automatically

applied (Intelligent IS). Additionally, the following icons are displayed in

[

] mode.

Image stabilization for still

images

Image stabilization for movies,

reducing strong camera shake,

as when shooting while walking

(Dynamic IS)

Image stabilization for still

images, when panning*

Image stabilization for slow

camera shake, such as when

shooting movies at telephoto

(Powered IS)

Image stabilization for macro

shots (Hybrid IS)

No image stabilization, because

the camera is mounted on

a tripod or held still by other

means

* Displayed when you pan, following moving subjects with the camera. When you follow

subjects moving horizontally, image stabilization only counteracts vertical camera

shake, and horizontal stabilization stops. Similarly, when you follow subjects moving

vertically, image stabilization only counteracts horizontal camera shake.
