Taking a Picture with Face Recognition Function

Face Recognition is a function which finds a face resembling a registered face and prioritizes 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.

[Face Recog.] is initially set to [OFF] on the camera.

[Face Recog.] will turn [ON] automatically when the face image is registered.

•The following functions will also work with the Face Recognition function.

In Recording Mode

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

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] (P162))

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

•Similarity in facial features can result in one person being recognized as another.

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