Touch the face with the double-lined frame 
again to cancel.
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
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. 78) 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.
When [ REC MODE] is set to [HD FX], you 
cannot use the Smile Shutter function.
Tips
You can select the subject that has priority 
for face detection and smile detection with 
[PRIORITY SETTING] (p. 78). 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. 78).
Recording sound with more 
presence (5.1ch surround 
recording)
You can record Dolby Digital 5.1ch

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.
Touch the face you want to record as
