Focus Adjustment
56
Autofocus may not work well on the following subjects or in the following cases. In such case, focus
manually.
- Reflective surfaces
- Subjects with low contrast or without vertical lines
- Fast moving subjects
- Through dirty or wet windows
-Night scenes
Face Detection & Tracking
The camcorder automatically detects people’s faces and uses this information to select the optimal
focus and exposure settings. You can use tracking to have the camcorder track and optimize settings
for a different subject. You can also use tracking to optimize settings for moving subjects such as pets.
You must use the touch screen to select the subject.
POINTS TO CHECK
Select a recording program other than [ü Night Scene], [Œ Low Light] or [Š Fireworks].
By default, face detection & tracking are activated. If the function was turned off, perform the following
procedure to turn it on.
1 Open the [Face Detection & Tracking] screen.
[FUNC.] > [MENU] > p > [Face Detection & Tracking]
2Touch [i On } ] and then touch [X].
To select the main subject
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.
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 moves.
Touch [Cancel £] to remove the frame and cancel the
tracking.
Limiting Autofocus to Faces
While using autofocus, you can limit the autofocus function only to cases when a subject’s face is
detected and use manual focus for all other scenes. The camcorder will also adjust the brightness
when focusing automatically on the subjects face.
Set an assignable button to [~ Face Only AF] (A 96) and press the button.
