the MANUAL dial. For details, see page 41.

NIGHTSHOT Light

When using the NightShot (p. 40) function, 

you can record clearer images by activating 

[NIGHTSHOT Light], which emits infrared 

light (invisible).

 On

Off

Does not emit infrared light.

Notes

Do not cover the infrared port (p. 122) with 

your fingers or other objects.

Remove the lens hood (supplied) before 

using [NIGHTSHOT Light], because the lens 

hood may prevent the infrared function from 

working properly (HDR-CX700/CX700V).

Remove the conversion lens (sold separately).

The maximum shooting distance using 

[NIGHTSHOT Light] is about 3 m (10 feet).

Face Detection

You can set the camcorder to detect a 

face automatically. Furthermore, you can 

select which faces (children or adults) the 

camcorder detects with priority.

It adjusts the focus/color/exposure 

automatically for the face of the selected 

subject. Also, it adjusts the image quality 

of face parts more finely, in the case of the 

high definition image quality (HD) movies.

 Auto

Detects faces without distinction between 

adults and children.

Child Priority

Gives faces of children priority.

Adult Priority

Gives faces of adults priority.

Off ( )

Does not detect faces.

Notes

Faces may not be detected depending on 

recording conditions, subject conditions, and 

the setting of your camcorder.

[Face Detection] may not function properly 

depending on recording conditions. Set [Face 

Detection] to [Off] in this case.

Tips

For better face detection performance, shoot the 

subject(s) under the following conditions:

Shoot in a sufficiently bright place

The subject(s) does not wear glasses, a hat 

or mask

The subject(s) faces directly towards the 

camera

If you select a subject which has priority by 

touching the frame that has appeared around 

the subject’s face, a double-lined frame will 

appear and that face has priority.
