Focus mode
The focus setting controls which part of a photo should be sharp. When continuous autofocus is on, the camera
keeps adjusting focus so that the area within the white focus frame stays sharp.

Face detection
The camera automatically detects up to five human faces, indicated by frames on the screen. The camera
automatically focuses on the nearest face. You can also select which face to focus on by tapping it on
the screen. When you tap the camera screen, a green frame shows which face is selected and in focus.
