Prioritizing the subject
When [FACE DETECTION] (p. 82) is set
to [ON] (the default setting), and several
faces are detected, touch the face you want
to record as priority. Focus/color/exposure
are adjusted automatically for the selected
face. Since the face you touched has priority
also with the Smile Shutter function, your
camcorder records a photo automatically
when it detects the smiling face.
Touch the face with the double-lined frame
again to cancel. If you touch another face,
the face with the double-lined frame is
canceled and the double-lined frame is
displayed around the new face.
Notes
The face you touched may not be detected,
depending on the surrounding brightness or
hairstyle of the subject. In this case, touch the
face again when you record.
Tips
If you set [SMILE DETECTION] to [DUAL
CAPTURE], or [ALWAYS ON] (p. 83), the
face you touch also has priority with the Smile
Shutter function, and your camcorder records a
photo automatically when it detects a smile on
the prioritized face.
The double-lined frame around a face targeted
for possible smile detection shot turns orange.
If the face you touched disappears from the
LCD screen, the subject selected in [PRIORITY
SETTING] (p. 83) has priority. If the face you
touched returns to the screen, the face has
priority.
Capturing smiles automatically
(Smile Shutter)
A photo is recorded automatically when the
camcorder detects the smile of a person.
An orange frame appears around a face
targeted for a possible smile detection shot.
In the default setting, the Smile Shutter
function is set to [OFF]. When you use
the function, change the setting of [SMILE
DETECTION] (p. 83).
Notes
Smiles may not be detected depending on
recording conditions, subject conditions, and
the setting of your camcorder.
When [ REC MODE] is set to [HD FX], you
cannot use the Smile Shutter function.
Tips
You can select the subject that has priority
for face detection and smile detection with
[PRIORITY SETTING] (p. 83). When you
specify the priority subject by touching the
detection frame on the LCD screen, the face
with a double-lined frame has priority.
If a smile is not detected, set the [SMILE
SENSITIVITY] (p. 83).
Touch the face you want to record as
priority.
The double-lined frame is displayed.
