This is an optimal feature if you don't just want to take the picture but would also like to be in the
picture yourself. Set the desired Self-Timer delay, press the Shutter button on your camera and
position yourself in front of the camera as desired.
The Self-Timer Menu Options include:
Anti-Shake Menu
The Anti-Shake feature reduces image corruption that can be caused by movement of the camera
while capturing the image.
The Anti-Shake Menu Options include:
Face-Detect Menu
The Face Detect feature when set to 'On' allows the camera to use a subject's face as the basis for
balancing the other colors and focus in the digital camcorder's display. This feature is meant to ensure
that the color and focus of your pictures will be consistently sharp and high-quality.
To properly use the Face Detect option, please ensure the following:
 Anti-Shake ON – Ensure that the Anti-Shake option is set to 'On'. The Anti-Shake option is 'On' by
default when you start using your camera and assists you in properly focusing the image.
 Distance from the camera – The subject's face must be no further than 8 to 9 feet (3.5 meters)
from the camera and the face must cover at least 20% (1 / 5th) of the picture previewed on the LCD
screen.
 Facing the camera – The face of the subject(s) you are photographing must be facing the camera
and must hold the pose for at least 4 to 5 seconds until the green square(s) appears around the
subject's face.
