Camera Query

It's normal, the camera app is trying to be helpful. It draws a blue box around any faces it can recognise in the image. If you actually take a photo there will be no box included, it's just there as an 'aid' while composing the photo..

You can test that this is what's happening by holding your hand to your face to cover one eye. The facial recognition will fail and the box will disappear. Take your hand away and it will reappear.

I see no setting to turn it off, but if you switch the camera from 'Take photo' to 'Video' it will not use facial recognition.
