Notes
When the frame rate and the recording mode are set to [60i]/[Highest Quality ] or [60p]/[60p
Quality ], you cannot use the Smile Shutter function while recording movies. Furthermore, when
the framerate is set to [24p], you cannot use the Smile Shutter function, either (HDR-

Smiles may not be detected depending on recording conditions, subject conditions, and the setting
of your camcorder.
