appears on the right of the LCD screen.
Notes
The subject you touched may not be detected,
depending on the surrounding brightness or
hairstyle of the subject. In this case, touch the
subject again when you record.
If you want to track a face, set the [Face
Detection] setting to other than [Off] ([Auto] is
the default setting).
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 [Face
Detection] (p. 83) has priority. If the face you
touched returns to the screen, that face has
priority.

Capturing smiles automatically
(Smile Shutter)
A photo is recorded automatically when
the camcorder detects the smile of a person
during movie recording ([Dual Capture]
is the default setting) (page 84). An orange
frame appears around a face targeted for
possible smile detection shot.
Notes
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, either (HDR-CX360/CX360V/PJ30/
PJ30V/PJ50/PJ50V).
Smiles may not be detected depending on
recording conditions, subject conditions, and
the setting of your camcorder.
Tips
You can select the subject that has priority
for face detection and smile detection with
[Face Detection] (p. 83). 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 [Smile Sensitivity]
(p. 84).
