100). Faces
can be detected with the camera in vertical or horizon-
tal orientation; if a face is detected, it will be indicated
by a green border. If there is more than one face in the
frame, the camera will select the face closest to the cen-
ter; other faces are indicated by white borders.

In some modes, the camera may set exposure for the frame as a whole rather than
the portrait subject.

If the subject moves as the shutter button is pressed, their face may not be in the
area indicated by the green border when the picture is taken.
