Advanced Shooting 75
• [ Dynamic] is available only when [Zoom Type] is set to
[ Optical].
• For surveying and following shots, when you pan the camcorder from
side to side or tilt it up and down, we recommend setting the IS mode
to [Dynamic] or [Standard].
Face Detection and Tracking
The camcorder automatically detects people’s faces and uses this
information to select the optimal settings for beautiful videos and pho-
tos. You can use tracking to tell the camcorder to track and optimize
settings for a different person. You can also use tracking to always
keep in focus other moving subjects, such as pets or moving vehicles.
Operating modes:
* Face detection and tracking are always activated in and modes.
POINTS TO CHECK
• Select a shooting mode other than the [ Night Scene], [ Low Light]
or [ Fireworks] Special Scene mode in mode.
By default, face detection and tracking are activated so you can skip step
1 in the following procedure. If the function was turned off, perform the fol-
lowing procedure starting from step 1.
1 Activate face detection and tracking.
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.
