You could use

vnoremap <F6> :s/\<\(\l\)\(\w*\)\>/\u\1\L\2/e<cr>

which will only title case the first found lowercase word.
Repeat pressing F6 to title case more words.

Alternatively, try wrapping the whole search string into \%V
which should make sure, that only all selections inside the visual
selected area will get their first letter upper case. Then you need
to visually select the part, that you want to change and press F6
to have each word inside the visual selection change the case.
