nFace Recognition

Adding Faces Automatically

To automatically add frequently-photographed subjects to the face recognition database, select ON for AUTO REGISTRATION in the face recognition menu. If the camera detects a face that has been photographed many times without being added to the database, it will display a message prompting you to create a new face recognition entry. Tap OK and enter face recognition data as described in Step 3 on page 41.

aNote

The camera may sometimes fail to recognize new faces automatically. If necessary, faces can be added manually using the REGISTER option as described on pages 40–41.

Face Recognition

The camera can store data on up to eight faces. If you attempt to add a ninth face, a confi rmation dialog will be displayed; use the VIEW & EDIT option to make room for new faces by deleting existing data. AUTO REGISTRATION is disabled if there are already data for eight faces.

When Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 30) is on and the frame contains multiple subjects from the face recognition database, the camera displays the name of the subject that will be used to set focus and exposure (the subject shown by the green frame). If no name is entered, the camera will show “---”. Subjects identifi ed using face recognition but not used to set focus and exposure are shown by orange frames, other subjects by white frames.

cCaution

Face recognition may not function as expected if the subject is not facing the camera, if only part of the sub- ject’s face is in the frame, or if details of the subject’s face or expression differ markedly from those recorded in the database.
