Touch & Track - Canon VIXIA HF R20 Instruction Manual

• 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 when the digi-
tal zoom is activated at more than 80x zoom.
• 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]).
Touch & Track
When recording people, face detection (0 66) 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.
Operating modes:
1 Make sure face detection is activated (0 66).
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
• If there is more than one subject on the screen that have similar charac-
teristics, such as color, the camcorder might track a subject different
from the intended one. In such case, touch the desired main subject
again.
• 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.
