Face Detection The SD9 introduce Panasonic s first Face Detection function for use in recording moving pictures with a camcorder.

Face Detection automatically locates any faces in the picture and adjusts the exposure contrast and skin tone to achieve optimal results.

Even when the faces are backlit or the lighting is low the recorded faces are clear and easy to see and not lost in the shadows.

With Face Detection there s no longer a need to use different correction functions in different kinds of shooting situations.
