Face Detection
The camcorder automatically detects people’s faces and uses this
information to select the optimal settings for beautiful videos and pho-
tos.
POINTS TO CHECK
• Select a recording program other than [
q
Night Scene], [
p
Low Light]
or [
M
Fireworks].
By default, face detection is activated. If the function was turned off, per-
form the following procedure to turn it on.
To select the main subject
If there is more than one person in the
picture, the camcorder will automatically
select one person it determines is the
main subject. The main subject is indi-
cated by a white face detection frame
and the camcorder will optimize the set-
tings for that person. Other faces will
have gray frames. Touching a subject will
activate Touch & Track (

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.
