Face Detection
You can set the camcorder to detect a
face automatically. Furthermore, you can
select which faces (children or adults) the
camcorder detects with priority.
It adjusts the focus/color/exposure
automatically for the face of the selected
subject. Also, it adjusts the image quality
of face parts more finely, in the case of the
high definition image quality (HD) movies.
 Auto
Detects faces without distinction between
adults and children.
Child Priority( )
Gives faces of children priority.
Adult Priority( )
Gives faces of adults priority.
Off ( )
Does not detect faces.
Notes
The frames on the faces appear during 2D
recording only.
Faces may not be detected depending on
recording conditions, subject conditions, and
the setting of your camcorder.
[Face Detection] may not function properly
depending on recording conditions. Set [Face
Detection] to [Off] in this case.
Tips
For better face detection performance, shoot the
subject(s) under the following conditions:
Shoot in a sufficiently bright place
The subject(s) does not wear glasses, a hat
or mask
The subject(s) faces directly towards the
camera

If you select a subject which has priority by
touching the frame that has appeared around
the subject’s face, a double-lined frame will
appear and that face has priority (2D only,
p. 41).
Smile Shutter
The shutter is released when the camcorder
detects a smile.
 Dual Capture
Only during movie recording, the shutter is
released automatically, when the camcorder
detects a smile.
Always On
The shutter is released when the camcorder
detects a smile whenever the camcorder is in
recording mode.
Off ( )
Smiles are not detected, so photos are not
recorded automatically.
Notes
Smiles may not be detected depending on
recording conditions, subject conditions, and
the setting of your camcorder.
When the frame rate and the recording
mode are set to [60i]/[Highest Quality ]
or [60p]/[60p Quality ], you cannot use
the Smile Shutter function while recording
movies. Furthermore, when the frame rate is
set to [24p], you cannot use the Smile Shutter
function.
Tips
You can detect a face or a smile on a subject
with [Face Detection] (p. 76). If you select a face
by touching the frame displayed on the LCD
screen, the frame becomes double-lined and
that face has priority.
If the camcorder does not detect smiles
properly, adjust [Smile Sensitivity] (p. 77).
