Touch& Track

When recording people, face detection (CJ_]67) will track the main sub- ject and adjust the optimal settings. But also when recording other moving subjects such as your pet, a moving vehicle or people not fac- ing the camera directly, you can use Touch & Track to keep your sub- ject in focus and achieve the best results.

Operating modes:

1

1 Make sure face detection is activated (CJ_]67).

2 Point 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 _ _] 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.
