When taking pictures using previous Nseries devices, the camera would either tell you whether it could properly focus (Green focus bracket) or not (Red focus bracket). With the latest firmware v20.115 for the N86 8MP there’s a new focus point indication feature, that shows you where exactly the camera is focusing on.
If it detects faces it will focus on these faces, if not, you will see a single focus bracket showing where the camera is focusing on.
The video below was deliberately taken without any faces, showing the focus point indication bracket. Notice how it’s colored green, when it’s properly able to focus. Also notice how the bracket’s position changes depending on the “scene” as the position of the camera changes.
