Face Detection
The camcorder automatically detects people’s faces and uses this information to select the optimal settings for beautiful videos and pho- tos. 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.
