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).
 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.
Built-in microphone
Touch the face or a point you want 
to track.
