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 that appear at the edges of the picture.

-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 [ PF24]) or when the digital zoom is activated at more than 60x zoom (dark blue area on the zoom bar).

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 [ PF24]).

White Balance

The white balance function helps you to accurately reproduce colors under different lighting conditions so that white objects will always look truly white in your recordings.
