| [AF Frame] | What the color represents |
|---|
(Green) | When the <shutter button> is pressed halfway and the subject is in focus, the color of the [AF Frame] changes to green. |
(Yellow) | When the <shutter button> is pressed halfway and the subject is not in focus, the color of the [AF Frame] changes to yellow.
In this case, the (
