Adjusting the Focus
• To change the main subject when there is more than one person,
press the assignable button set to [Select Face].
NOTES
• The camcorder may mistakenly detect the faces of non-human
subjects. In such case, turn face detection off.
• 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 that are turned to the side, at a diagonal or partially hidden.
• Face detection cannot be used in the following cases:
- When the shutter speed used is slower than 1/25.
- When using slow & fast motion recording mode and the shooting
frame rate is set to less than 24P.
- When [J Other Functions] [Custom Function] [Scan Reverse
Rec] is set to [Both], [Vertical] or [Horizontal].
• When a subject's face is detected, the camcorder adds an event
marker to that frame. You can then use the supplied Canon XF Utility
software to search for event marks in a clip.
• If you set an assignable button to [Face AF] (0 111), you can press
the button to activate this autofocus mode.
Focus Limit and Macro Shooting
By default, the camcorder’s focus range allows macro shooting. You can
activate the focus limit to restrict the focus range. The focus range 2 cm
to f (at full wide-angle) is limited to 1 m to f (throughout the entire
zoom range).
