You can use face detection to bring an off-
center face into focus. The camera
automatically detects up to 5 faces at a time.
A yellow frame indicates a face to focus on,
and white frames indicate the rest. An
appropriate face is determined by distance
from the camera and off-center balance, and
is focused automatically. You can also tap one
of the frames to select which face should be
in focus.
