Recording

Applicable modes:

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.

Settings: [ON]/[OFF]/[MEMORY]

•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] in [FilteringPlay]).

¢Names of up to 3 people are displayed. Precedence for the names displayed when taking

pictures is determined according to the order of registration.

•During the Burst Mode, [Face Recog.] picture information can be attached to only the first picture.

•[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 categorised by Face Recognition in [Category Selection] ([FilteringPlay]).

•Even when Face Recognition information is changed (P92), Face Recognition information for

the pictures already taken will not be changed.

For instance, if the name is changed, pictures recorded before the change will not be categorised by

Face Recognition in [Category Selection] ([FilteringPlay]).
