What if...
• What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera
toward a subject?

main subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The
frames will follow the subjects within a certain range

blur the image.

halfway?

• What if the lamp lights when the shutter button is pressed
halfway?
