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 [z24F]) or when the digital zoom is activated at more than 40x 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 [EPF24] or [z24F]).

Touch & Track

When recording people, face detection (067) 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 (067).

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

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.
