-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]).
