■How the Face Recognition function works During recording (When [AF Mode] is (Face Detection))

•During recording, the names that have been set for the recognized faces are displayed (up to 3 people)

●When Burst is performed, recording information relating to Face Recognition is put only on the first picture.

●If you press the shutter button halfway, then point the camera at a different subject and record, recording information for a different person may be put on the picture.

Motion picture recording, Scene Modes [Transform], [Panorama Assist], [Night Scenery], [Food], [Hi-Speed Burst], [Flash Burst], [Starry Sky], [Fireworks], [Aerial Photo], [Film Grain], [Underwater]

●Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but there is no guarantee it will always recognize these faces.

●Even if Face Recognition information is registered, pictures recorded when the name is [OFF] are not categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].

●Even if Face Recognition information is changed, Face Recognition information for previously recorded pictures is not changed.

For example, if a name is changed, pictures recorded before the change are not categorized for Face Recognition in [Category Selection].

●To change name information for pictures already recorded, perform a [REPLACE] (→100) in [Face Rec Edit].
