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.

•Face detection cannot be used when the shutter speed used is slower than 1/30 (1/24 if the frame rate is set to [»]) or when the digital zoom is activated at more than 212x zoom.

•When face detection is activated, the slowest shutter speed used by the camcorder is 1/30 (1/24 if the frame rate is set to [»]).

•Touching somewhere with a color or pattern unique to the subject will make it easier to track. However, if there is another subject in the vicinity that shares similar characteristics to the selected subject, the cam- corder may start tracking the incorrect subject. Touch the screen again to select the desired subject.

•In certain cases, tracking may not be able to track the subject. Typical examples include:

-Subjects extremely small or large in relation to the overall picture.

-Subjects too similar to the background.

-Subjects lacking sufficient contrast.

-Fast moving subjects.

-When shooting indoors with insufficient lighting.

Faders

The camcorder offers two professional looking transition effects to fade-in or fade-out scenes. You have the option to activate the fader only one time or every time you start or stop recording.
