70 Video
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 [z 24F]) 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 [E PF24] or
[z 24F]).
Touch & Track
When recording people, face detection (0 69) 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.
1 Make sure face detection is activated (0 69).
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 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.
