2 Point the camcorder at a person. 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 indicated by a white face detection frame and the camcorder will optimize the settings for that person. Other faces will have gray frames. 3 Touch a different face on the touch screen to optimize the camcorder's settings for that person. • You can also touch other moving objects, such as a pet. • A white double frame will appear around the subject and track it as it Main subject moves. • Touch [Cancel £] to remove the frame and cancel the tracking. NOTES • The camcorder may mistakenly detect the faces of non-human subjects. In such case, turn face detection off. • When face detection is activated, the slowest shutter speed used by the camcorder is 1/30 (1/24 if the frame rate is set to 24P). • 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, 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. • Face detection cannot be used when the shutter speed used is slower than 1/30 (1/24 if the frame rate is set to 24P), when the digital zoom is activated at more than 228x zoom or when using a smartphone or tablet to remotely control the camcorder. • In certain cases, tracking 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. Advanced Shooting 73
