Face Detection technology for
Video Footage and Digital Still
Photos:
Made possible by the BIONZ™
image processing engine, Face
Detection technology recognizes
up to 8 faces anywhere in the
frame and by selecting the most
prominent, automatically controls
focus, exposure, and color to help
capture smiling faces brightly and
clearly. Face Detection technology
also helps make skin tones look
natural without affecting other
colors in the image. On AVCHD
models, the camcorder allocates
encoding bits on detected face
areas prior to encoding other parts
of the picture, making them
sharper and clearer. In still picture
mode, Face Detection technology
sets the flash level to optimize
picture clarity.
Smile Shutter™ technology for still
and dual capture:
Smile Shutter™ technology lets the
camcorder automatically take still
photos when your subject smiles,
even while shooting high definition
video. You can also set the
sensitivity and choose child, adult,
or auto priority.
