Basic

Face Recognition

Face of the person that is taken often can be registered along with information such as name and birthday.

When a picture is taken with [FACE RECOG.] turned [ON], it will search for the face similar to the registered face, setting the focus and exposure preferentially. The camera will also remember the face during the face recognition, and detect the face that the picture is taken for many times automatically, displaying the face recognition registration screen. (P61)

Note

•[FACE RECOG.] will find a face similar to the registered face, and does not guarantee secure recognition of a person.

•Faces with similar distinctive features such as those of parents and children or siblings may not be correctly recognized.

•Face Recognition may take more time to select and recognize distinctive facial features than regular face detection.
