Taking a picture with Face Recognition function

Face Recognition is a function which finds a face resembling a registered face and prioritises focus and exposure automatically. Even if the person is located towards the back or on the end of a line in a group photo, the camera can still take a clear picture.

To use the Face Recognition function, set the [FACE RECOG.] in the [REC] Mode menu to [ON], and register the face images of the people to recognise. (initially set to [OFF])

•The Face Recognition function includes the following. In Recording Mode

–Display of corresponding name when camera detects a registered face¢ (if name has been set for the registered face)

–The camera will remember a face that has been photograhed many times and display the registration screen automatically (if

[AUTO REGISTRATION] is set to [ON])

In Playback Mode

–Display of name and age (if information has been registered)

–Selective playback of pictures chosen from pictures registered with Face Recognition ([CATEGORY PLAY] (P136))

¢Names of up to 3 people are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking pictures is determined according to the order of registration.

Note

•[FACE RECOG.] only works when [AF MODE] is set to [š].

•During the burst mode, [FACE RECOG.] picture information can be attached to only the first picture.

•After pressing the shutter halfway down, a different person’s picture information may be added when the camera is turned to a different subject to photograph.

•You cannot use [FACE RECOG.] in the following scene modes.

– [PERIPHERAL DEFOCUS]/[FOOD]/[NIGHT SCENERY]/[ILLUMINATIONS]

•When the focus mode is set to [MF], automatic registration is not available.

•The data registered with [FACE RECOG.] will be reset when the [REC] menu settings are reset with [RESET].

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

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

•Even when face recognition information has been registered, pictures taken with [NAME] set to [OFF] will not be categorized by face recognition in [CATEGORY PLAY].

•Even when face recognition information is changed (P109), face recognition information for the pictures already taken will not be changed.
