To select the main subject

If there is more than one person in the picture, the camcorder will auto- matically select one person it determines is the main subject. The main subject is indicated by a white face detection frame and the camcorder

will optimize the settings for that person. Other faces will have gray frames.

Touch a different face on the touch screen to optimize the camcorder's settings for that person.

NOTES

The camcorder may mistakenly detect the faces of non-human sub- jects. In such case, turn face detection off.

In certain cases, faces may not be detected correctly. Typical examples include:

-Faces extremely small, large, dark or bright in relation to the overall picture.

-Faces turned to the side, at a diagonal or partially hidden.
