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
In the default setting, the face you touched has priority also with the Smile Shutter function.
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. 80) 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.
Tips
You can select the subject that has priority for face detection and smile detection with [PRIORITY
SETTING] (p. 80). 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. 80).
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.
To enjoy the 5.1ch surround sound of the movies recorded with high definition image quality (HD) in
5.1ch sound, you need an AVCHD format device compatible with 5.1ch surround.
