The recording mode of the standard image
quality (STD) is limited to the following value.
[Standard ] (STD 9M (HQ))
“M,” such as in “24M,” means “Mbps.”
You can record at 1920  1080/24p (FX, FH)
on a PAL-based model (NEX-VG900E) by
activating [24p Mode].
Using the Tracking focus function
If you touch the subject you want to track
on the LCD screen, the camcorder tracks
that subject and records a movie.
When you touch a face
A double-lined frame appears around the
face and the camcorder adjusts the focus,
color and exposure automatically.
When you touch a point other than a
face
A double-lined frame appears at the point
you touch and the camcorder adjusts the
focus automatically.
To stop tracking, touch / that
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).
When [ Frame Rate] is set to [60p] (NEX-
VG900), [50p] (NEX-VG900E), you cannot use
the Tracking focus function.
Tips
If the face you touched disappears from the
LCD screen, the subject selected in [Face
Detection] (p. 74) has priority. If the face you
touched returns to the screen, that face has
priority.
You cannot use the face detection function
when [ Cinematone] is set to [On].
The face detection and tracking focus functions
are not effective when you use digital zoom.
Recording sound with more
presence (5.1ch surround
recording)
The camcorder adopts an array microphone
system that has a four-capsule structure,
and can record clear, low-noise sound with
5.1ch surround. Realistic sound can be
enjoyed when playing a movie on devices
that support 5.1ch surround sound.
Notes
To enjoy the 5.1ch surround sound of the
movies recorded with high definition image
quality (HD) in 5.1ch sound, you need a device
compatible with 5.1ch surround.
When you connect your camcorder with an
HDMI cable (sold separately), the sound of high
definition image quality (HD) movies recorded
in 5.1ch sound is automatically output in 5.1ch
sound. The sound of standard definition image
quality (STD) movies is converted to 2ch.
