] to remove the frame and cancel the tracking.
NOTES
• 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 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 1/25 or when the digital zoom is activated at more than 212x
zoom.
• When face detection is activated, the slowest shutter speed used by the
camcorder is 1/25.
• 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 cam-
corder may start tracking the incorrect subject. Touch the screen again
to select the desired subject.
• In certain cases, tracking 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.
Faders
The camcorder offers two professional looking transition effects to
fade-in or fade-out scenes. You have the option to activate the fader
only one time or every time you start or stop recording.
