Touch the face with the double-lined frame
again to cancel.
Notes
The face you touched may not be detected,
depending on the surrounding brightness or
hairstyle of the subject. In this case, touch the
face again when you record.
Tips
The double-lined frame around a face targeted
for possible smile detection shot turns orange.
If the face you touched disappears from the
LCD screen, the subject selected in [PRIORITY
SETTING] (p. 78) has priority. If the face you
touched returns to the screen, the face has
priority.
Capturing smiles automatically
(Smile Shutter)
In the default setting, a photo is recorded
automatically when the camcorder detects
the smile of a person during movie
recording. An orange frame appears around
a face targeted for possible smile detection
shot.

Notes
Smiles may not be detected depending on
recording conditions, subject conditions, and
the setting of your camcorder.
When [ REC MODE] is set to [HD FX], you
cannot use the Smile Shutter function.
Tips
You can select the subject that has priority
for face detection and smile detection with
[PRIORITY SETTING] (p. 78). When you
specify the priority subject by touching the
detection frame on the LCD screen, the face
with a double-lined frame has priority.
If a smile is not detected, set the [SMILE
SENSITIVITY] (p. 78).
Recording sound with more
presence (5.1ch surround
recording)
You can record Dolby Digital 5.1ch
surround sound with the built-in
microphone. Realistic sound can be enjoyed
when playing a movie on devices that
support 5.1ch surround sound.
Notes
If you play back 5.1ch sound on your
camcorder, 5.1ch sound is automatically
converted and output in 2ch.
