# recommendedFraming

The latest recommended framing from the monitor.

```
var recommendedFraming: AVCaptureFraming? { get }
```

## Discussion

While your [`AVCaptureSession`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureSession) is running, the monitor continuously observes its device’s scene to recommend the best framing. This recommended framing is always one of the values in [`enabledFramings`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureSmartFramingMonitor/enabledFramings). This property may return `nil` if smart framing isn’t supported for the device in its current configuration. Its default value is `nil`. This property is key-value observable, and when you observe a change, you may respond to the new recommendation by calling [`setDynamicAspectRatio(_:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureDevice/setDynamicAspectRatio(_:completionHandler:)) and setting [`videoZoomFactor`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureDevice/videoZoomFactor) on the associated device in whatever order best matches your animation between old and new framings.
