focus, color, and exposure automatically. Also, it adjusts recording 
conditions to optimise for the face detected.

Face Detection

The Face Detection indicator (      ) and Face Detection frame (      ) are not recorded.
Framing a person’s face while Face Detection is set will adjust focus and exposure to optimal 
values automatically.
Face Detection may not operate depending on the recording conditions. For example, the Face 
Detection Frame may appear when framing a "face-like" shape, even when the subject is not a 
person's face. If this occurs, turn off the Face Detection feature.
The Face Detection feature will not work when framing the side of a person's face or operating 
while lack of illumination. You must be facing them "head-on" or occupying enough illumination.

Auto:  In most situations, it is better to use the automatic focus feature, as it 

enables you to concentrate on the creative side of your recording.

Face Detection (       ):   Detects faces automatically and then adjusts settings 

automatically for optimal recording.

Manual (       ):  Manual focusing may be necessary under certain conditions 

that make automatic focusing diffi cult or unreliable.
