•Face detection cannot be used when the shutter speed used is slower than 1/30 (1/24 if the frame rate is set to [EPF24]) or when the digi- tal zoom is activated at more than 80x 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 [EPF24]).

Touch & Track

When recording people, face detection (066) will track the main subject and adjust the optimal settings. But also when recording other moving subjects such as your pet, a moving vehicle or people not facing the camera directly, you can use Touch & Track to keep your subject in focus and achieve the best results.

Operating modes:

1 Make sure face detection is activated (066).

2Point the camcorder at a moving subject and touch the subject on the touch screen.

•A white double frame will appear around the subject and track it as it moves.

•Touch [Cancel z] to remove the frame and cancel the tracking.

NOTES

•If there is more than one subject on the screen that have similar charac- teristics, such as color, the camcorder might track a subject different from the intended one. In such case, touch the desired main subject again.

•In certain cases, Touch & Track 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.
