Touch& Track
When recording people, face detection ([_ 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: I
1 Make sure face detection is activated ([_ 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.

(_ 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.
