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 Selection] (P91) in [Filtering Play]).

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

DMC-SZ7 specifications

The Panasonic DMC-SZ7K, also known as the DMC-SZ7, is a compact digital camera that blends convenience with powerful features, making it an ideal choice for photography enthusiasts and casual shooters alike. Designed for portability, the SZ7 boasts a sleek and compact design that fits comfortably in your pocket, enabling you to carry it effortlessly wherever you go.

One of the standout features of the DMC-SZ7 is its high-resolution sensor. Equipped with a 14.1-megapixel CCD sensor, the camera captures stunning and detailed images, even in challenging lighting conditions. This impressive resolution allows for large prints and cropping without sacrificing image quality, making it a versatile option for various shooting scenarios.

The DMC-SZ7 features a 10x optical zoom lens, which provides a versatile focal range from wide-angle to telephoto. This flexibility allows users to capture landscapes, portraits, and distant subjects with ease.

This makes it easy to get close to the action without having to compromise on clarity.

Another noteworthy aspect of the DMC-SZ7 is its advanced image stabilization technology.

The camera offers various shooting modes, including Scene Modes and Creative Control, allowing users to experiment with different settings and effects.

The DMC-SZ7 also supports HD video recording, with the ability to capture 720p videos at 30 frames per second. This capability opens up new creative possibilities, allowing users to document their experiences in dynamic motion.
