POINTS TO CHECK
Select a recording program other than [q Night Scene],
[p Low Light], [M Fireworks] or [r Underwater].
By default, face detection is activated. If the function was turned off, per-
form the following procedure to turn it on.
To select the main subject
If there is more than one person in the picture, the camcorder will auto-
matically 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.
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 1/30 (1/24 if the frame rate is set to [
E PF24]) or when the digital
zoom is activated at more than 60x 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 [
E PF24]).
