Face detection cannot be used when the shutter speed used is slower
than 1/30 (1/24 if the frame rate is set to [»]), when the digital zoom
is activated at more than 212x zoom or when using a smartphone or
tablet to remotely control the camcorder.
When face detection is activated, the slowest shutter speed used by the
camcorder is 1/30 (1/24 if the frame rate is set to [»]).
Touching somewhere with a color or pattern unique to the subject will
make it easier to track. However, if there is another subject in the vicinity
that shares similar characteristics to the selected subject, the cam-
corder may start tracking the incorrect subject. Touch the screen again
to select the desired subject.
In certain cases, tracking may not be able to track the subject. Typical
examples include:
- Subjects extremely small or large in relation to the overall picture.
