Grooming mode in a computing device

A method comprising:

• detecting, by at least one processor of an electronic device that includes a memory, a first display, and a first image capturing device (ICD), an activation of a mirror mode of the electronic device;
• capturing image data from the first image capturing device;
• rendering and presenting the captured image data on the first display;
• detecting a human face in the captured image data;
• and
• in response to detecting a hand movement proximal to a first region of the detected human face, activating a grooming mode operation comprising autonomously changing an image capturing characteristic of the first ICD to more clearly present the first region of the face, which is presented on the first display.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions that when executed by a processor of an electronic device comprising a first display and a first image capturing device (ICD), configure the electronic device to perform functions comprising:

• detecting an activation of a mirror mode of the electronic device;
• capturing image data from the first image capturing device;
• rendering and presenting the captured image data on the first display;
• detecting a human face in the captured image data;
• and
• in response to detecting a hand movement proximal to a first region of the detected human face, activating a grooming mode operation comprising autonomously changing an image capturing characteristic of the first ICD to more clearly present the first region of the face, which is presented on the first display.
