Colour night view		This allows you to record colour subjects in dark locations
		to stand out against the background.

≥Minimum required illumination: approx. 2 lx

≥Attach this unit to a tripod, and you can record images free from vibration.

≥If it is difficult to focus, adjust the focus manually. (l 46)

	Soft skin mode		This makes skin colours appear softer for a more attractive
			appearance.
			This is more effective if you record a person closely from the
			torso up.
		PRE-REC	This allows recording of the pictures and sound to start
[SD]			approximately 3 seconds before the recording start/stop
			button is pressed.
			[ PRE-REC] appears on the screen and the unit repeats the
			update by recording motion pictures for about 3 seconds onto
			the built-in memory and then deleting them.

≥Aim this unit at the subject and position it securely.

Press the recording start/stop button to start recording.

≥Images and audio are recorded for about 3 seconds before pressing the recording start/stop button.

≥There is no beep sound.

≥After recording starts, the PRE-REC setting is cancelled.

Face detection	When a subject is backlit and appears darker, this function
	detects the face and automatically adjusts the brightness
	and picture quality so that the face is recorded clearly.
	In the face detection mode, detected faces appear with frames.

≥Up to 5 frames are indicated. Larger faces and faces nearer to

the centre of the screen take preference over others.

≥Faces that do not appear completely on the screen are not detected.

∫To display the face detection framing Select the menu. (l 21)
