Touch & Track
When recording a group of people using face detection, the camcorder will automatically detect one
person as the main subject. You can use Touch & Track to tell the camcorder to track and optimize
settings for a different person. You can also use Touch & Track to always keep in focus other moving
subjects, such as pets or moving vehicles.
1 Make sure face detection (
0
53) and autofocus (
0
52) are activated.
• Face detection is always activated in
mode.
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.
• Touch [Cancel
z
] to remove the frame and cancel the tracking.
NOTES
• 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 incorrect subject. Touch the screen again to select
the desired subject.
• 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.
