orange. The frame for which the focus is set will turn green when the shutter button is
pressed halfway down.

Choosing the priority subject

• Touch a subject to select it as the priority subject immediately, regardless of the Face Detection

with priority on that subject. The Face Detection frame for the main subject is orange.
