To select the main subject

If there is more than one person in the picture, the camcorder will automatically select one person it determines is the main subject. The main subject is indicated by a white face detection frame and the camcorder will optimize the settings for that person. Other faces will have gray frames.

Touch a different face on the touch screen to optimize the camcorder’s settings for that person using the Touch & Track function.

Main subject

NOTES

•The camcorder may mistakenly detect the faces of non-human sub- jects. In such case, turn face detection off.

•In certain cases, faces may not be detected correctly. Typical examples include:

-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 1/25 or when the digital zoom is activated at more than 144x zoom.

•When face detection is activated, the slowest shutter speed used by the camcorder is 1/25.

Touch & Track

When recording a group of people using face detection, the camcorder will automatically detect one person as the main subject. You can use Touch & Track to tell the camcorder to track and optimize settings for a different person. You can also use Touch & Track to always keep in focus other moving subjects, such as pets or moving vehicles.
