Panasonic DMCTS1S, DMC-TS1, DMCTS1D Face Recognition, Face detection, Backlight Compensation

Basic

•[¦] is set if none of the scenes are applicable, and the standard settings are set.

•If a tripod is used, for instance, and the camera has judged that camera shake is minimal when the scene mode has been identified as [ ], the shutter speed will be set to a maximum of

8 seconds.Take care not to move the camera while taking pictures.

•An optimum scene for the specified subject will be chosen when set to AF tracking (P86).

•When [FACE RECOG.] is set to [ON], and the face similar to the registered face is detected, [R]

is displayed in the top right of [ ], [ ] and [ ]

¢When [FACE RECOG.] is set to [ON], [ ] will be displayed for birthdays of registered faces already set only when the face of a person 3 years old or younger is detected.

∫Face detection

When [ ],[ ] or [ ] is selected, the camera automatically detects a person’s face, and it will adjust the focus and exposure. (P85)

Note

•Due to conditions such as the ones below, a different scene mode may be identified for the same subject.

–Subject conditions: The face is bright or dark, The size of the subject, The distance to the subject, The contrast of the subject, The subject is moving, The zoom is used

–Recording conditions: Sunset, Sunrise, Under low brightness conditions, Underwater, When the camera is shaken

•To take pictures in an intended scene, it is recommended that you take pictures in the appropriate recording mode.

•Face detection may become slower or it may not detect faces underwater.

∫The Backlight Compensation

Backlight refers to light coming from the back of a subject.

In this case, the subject will become dark, so this function compensates the backlight by brightening the whole picture automatically.

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 an often photographed face automatically, displaying the face recognition registration screen. (P75)

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.
