Face Detect Menu
The Face Detect feature when set to ‘On’ allows the camcorder to use a subject’s face as the
basis for balancing the other colors and focus in the camcorder’s display. This feature is meant
to ensure that the color and focus of your pictures will be consistently sharp and high-quality.
To properly use the Face Detect option, please ensure the following:
Anti-Shake
- Ensure that the Anti-
Shake option is set to ‘On’. The Anti-Shake option is ‘On’ by
default when you start using your camcorder and assists you in properly focusing the image.
Distance from the camcorder
– The subject’s face must be no further than 8 to 9 feet (3.5
meters) from the camcorder and the face must cover at least 20% (1 / 5th) of the picture as
seen on the LCD screen.
Facing the camcorder
- The face of the subject(s) you are photographing must be facing the
camcorder and must hold the pose for at least 4 to 5 seconds until the green square(s) appears
around the subject’s face.
Face Detect will
not
work with a side shot of the subject’s head.
