A rectangle briefly appears where the exposure is set. When you photograph people, face detection (iPad 3rd generation or later) balances the exposure across up to 10 faces. A rectangle appears for each face detected.

Exposure is automatic, but you can set the exposure manually for the next shot by tapping an object or area on the screen. With an iSight camera, tapping the screen sets the focus as well as the exposure. Face detection is temporarily turned off. To lock the exposure and focus until you tap the screen again, touch and hold until the rectangle pulses.
