About Gesture Control
With Gesture Control you can operate the TV with simple
hand gestures. When the camera slides out of the TV, you can
use Gesture Control. Take care that the camera is not hindered
when sliding out.
With Gesture Control you can switch channels, adjust the
volume or mute the sound. You can open the Home menu or
call up the Pointer to navigate the screen, only using your hand.
Gesture Control works best if you are in front of the TV and
between 3 to 5 meters away from the screen. Avoid direct
sunlight shining on the camera and do not obstruct its view. The
room can't be too dark because the camera needs to recognize
your hand movements. A plain background helps the camera to
notice your hand easily.
You cannot use Gesture Control with applications that need the
camera, like Skype.

Distance Adaptive Sharpness.

Hand Gestures
Gesture Control uses specific hand gestures.
• Hold your hand up, with the palm of your hand facing the TV.
This will wake up Gesture Control.
• Close your hand - make a fist - and immediately open your
hand again to call up the menu for gestures.
• Move your open hand to move the highlight across the screen
and to select a button.
Clicking
• Close and open your hand to 'click' a button.
• If you put your hand down, Gesture Control stays active for
about 5 seconds.
• Holding your hand up within 5 seconds will immediately show
the Pointer or the menu for gestures.
• If you hold up your hand when the 5 seconds have passed,
you will need to 'click' with your hand again to call up the menu
for gestures.
You can use your right or left hand.
To use Pointer with Gesture Control, Remote Control Pointer
must be switched On.
Press Setup > General Settings > Remote Control Pointer.
The speed of the hand controlled Pointer is the same as the
speed for Pointer.
