Notes
The subject you touched may not be detected,
depending on the surrounding brightness or
hairstyle of the subject. In this case, touch the
subject again when you record.
If you want to track a face, set the [Face
Detection] setting to other than [Off] ([Auto] is
the default setting).
Tips
The double-lined frame around a face targeted
for possible smile detection shot turns orange.
If the face you touched disappears from the
LCD screen, the subject selected in [Face
D
etec
tion] (p. 82) has priority. If the face you
touched returns to the screen, that face has
priority.
Capturing smiles automatically
(Smile Shutter)
A photo is recorded automatically when
the camcorder detects the smile of a person
during movie recording ([Dual Capture]
is the default setting) (page 83). An orange
frame appears around a face targeted for
possible smile detection shot.
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 frame rate is
set to [24p], you cannot use the Smile Shutter
function, either.
Smiles may not be detected depending on
recording conditions, subject conditions, and
the setting of your camcorder.
Tips
You can select the subject that has priority
for face detection and smile detection with
[F
ace Dete
ction] (p. 82). When you specify the
priority subject by touching the detection frame
on the LCD screen, the face with a double-lined
frame has priority.
If a smile is not detected, set [Smile Sensitivity]
(p
. 83).
Recording sound with more
presence (5.1ch surround
recording)
You can record Dolby Digital 5.1ch
surround sound with the built-in
microphone. Realistic sound can be enjoyed
when playing a movie on devices that
support 5.1ch surround sound.
Notes
If you play back 5.1ch sound on your
camcorder, 5.1ch sound is automatically
converted and output in 2ch.
To enjoy the 5.1ch surround sound of the
movies recorded with high definition image
quality (HD) in 5.1ch sound, you need a device
compatible with 5.1ch surround.
When you connect your camcorder with an
HDMI cable (sold separately), the sound of high
definition image quality (HD) movies recorded
in 5.1ch sound is automatically output in 5.1ch
sound. The sound of standard definition image
quality (STD) movies is converted to 2ch.
