Convenient Functions
• The camcorder may mistakenly detect the faces of non-
human subjects. In such case, turn face detection off.
• 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
24P).
• Touching somewhere with a color or pattern unique to the
subject will make it easier to track. However, if there is another
subject in the vicinity that shares similar characteristics to the
selected subject, the camcorder may start tracking the incor-
rect subject. Touch the screen again to select the desired
subject.
• In certain cases, faces may not be detected correctly. Typical
examples include:
- Faces extremely small, large, dark or bright in relation to the
overall picture.
- Faces turned to the side, at a diagonal, upside-down, or
partially hidden.
• Face detection is not available in the following cases.
- When the shooting mode is set to ƒ and the Special
Scene mode is set to [J Night Scene], [N Low Light] or
[P Fireworks].
- During slow & fast recording mode.
- When the shutter speed used is slower than 1/30 (1/24 if
the frame rate is set to 24P).
- When the digital zoom is activated and the zoom ratio is
larger than 228x.
