If the camera detects smiling faces, the shutter is automatically released without
pressing the shutter-release button (Smile timer). The skin softening function
makes facial skin tones softer.

double border (focus area) is displayed around that
face. When the camera has focused on that face, the
double border will light in green for a moment and
focus is locked.

closest to the center of the frame is framed by a double border and the others by
single borders.
