Canon Digital Video Technology Face Detection - During shooting, the technology gives faces optimal focus and exposure for natural skin tone. GENUINE CANON Face FACE DETECTION Detection The same high quality Face Detection technology used in Canon digital cameras is now available in Canon HD camcorders. Up to 35 faces can automatically be detected, and 9 detection frames can be displayed at one time. The system is so intelligent that it recognizes faces that are turned down or sideways. In addition, a specific face may be selected as the main subject for continuous tracking. The technology enhances auto exposure by compensating to eliminate whiteout or loss of shadow detail. Even playback can be linked to Face Detection, allowing you access specific scenes based on faces. Face tracking - Faces in the frame are tracked to deliver fast, pin-point focus in any composition. Face index - Detected face frame displays as thumbnail in each shot. 32 Shooting With Video Snapshot Mode, you can create a series of 4 second video clips during recording and playback.* Playback Play back the short video with background music.
