Cameras in the front

I know there is a camera in the nose and there is one at the bottom. What are either of them for? Is the top one for Surround View and bottom one Night Vision? And do you need Gesture Control option to fully use the new 3D/Surround View?

AND is this Bluestone Metallic?

Yes, it is Bluestone

The "bottom" "camera" is the Active Cruise Control radar sensor
The "top" one is for front panorama view (surround view)

Night vision camera would be in the kidney grill

Dont know why gesture control would have anything to do with surround view or 3D monitoring, unless its a country specific package that makes you take both together

Aaahhh so not a camera after all, thanks for the info.
I asked about the gesture control as there was a video where they showed how you can control the 3D Surround View through gestures, but I guess you could do the same thing thorough the touch screen.
