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
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 [Face 
Detection] (p. 72) has priority. If the face you 
touched returns to the screen, that face has 
priority.
Capturing smiles automatically 
(Smile Shutter) 
A photo is recorded automatically when 
the camcorder detects the smile of a person 
during movie recording ([Dual Capture] 
is the default setting) (page 72). An orange 
frame appears around a face targeted for 
possible smile detection shot.
Notes
When the frame rate and the recording mode 
are set to [50i]/[Highest Quality 
] or 
[50p]/[50p Quality 
], you cannot use the 
Smile Shutter function while recording movies.
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 
[Face Detection] (p. 72). 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 [Smile Sensitivity] 
(p. 73).
Recording high quality photos 
during movie recording (Dual Rec)
You can record photos during movie 
recording by pressing PHOTO.

LCD screen and you may not be able to use the

standby in the same way as when the   (Photo) 
lamp is turned on.
