Face Detection

You can have the camcorder automatically detect people’s faces and use this information to adjust the focus and set the best exposure for beautiful videos and photos. When there are a number of people in the picture, one person (with the white face frame) will be determined to be the main subject. You can also select the main subject manually, so the camcorder optimizes the settings for the person selected.
