main subject.

Main subiect .....
The camcorder may mistakenly detect the faces of non-human sub-
jects. In such case, turn face detection off.
In certain cases, faces may not be detected correctly. Typical examples
include:
- Faces that appear at the edges of the picture.
- Faces extremely small, large, dark or bright in relation to the overall
picture.
- Faces turned to the side, at a diagonal or partially hidden.
Face detection cannot be used when the shutter speed used is slower
than 1/30 (1/24 if the frame rate is set to [_ PF24]) or when the digital
zoom is activated at more than 40x zoom (dark blue area on the zoom
bar).
When face detection is activated, the slowest shutter speed used by the
camcorder is 1/30 (I/24 if the frame rate is set to [1_ PF24]).
