If there is more than one person in the picture, the camcorder will
automatically 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.
3 Touch a different face on the touch
screen to optimize the camcorder's
settings for that person.
• You can also touch other moving
objects, such as a pet.
• A white double frame will appear
around the subject and track it as it
moves.
• Touch [Cancel £] to remove the frame and cancel the tracking.
NOTES
• The camcorder may mistakenly detect the faces of non-human sub-
jects. In such case, turn face detection off.
