displayed when the camera detects a portrait subject

the camera will focus on the closest subject; to choose
a different subject, use the multi selector). If the
camera can no longer detect the subject (because, for
example, the subject has turned to face away from the
camera), the border will no longer be displayed.

Subject Tracking

large, too bright, too dark, or similar in color or brightness to the background.
